Re: brain mets
We will survive it just means a little bit of hard work. I'm on the same page as you but I've already started. So far I've had 6 wbr at a lower dose with a further treatment of VMAT at a very high dose. Spent one night in hospital (vomiting) .
I'm on decadron I've just lowered this dose seems to take two days to kick in on a lowered dose.
I've got 20 rads in total and plan on being like Christine as I'm sure you are to. And we will get there.
Please be strong you have been through alot and your not alone I'm there with you every step of the way.
As i go through this i know i have others with me to give me strength.
Rest is good look after yourself. oooxxx
