New to stage 4, what do I do now?
Hi, this sucks that I'm writing this, but i got the news today that i have one single brain met. I can hardly see, and this is why i went to emergency on the weekend. Anyway, I see the surgeon tomorrow morning. My oncologist isn't in until Thursday, so I would like to ask your advice. What should I expect for treatment? Should I be asking for a specific drug? I'm feeling very lost and I'm reaching out to you guys to help me out a little for some guidance. Thanks my friends.
