Re: Brain Met
Hi, I'm a met-ster. I have several. I wanted to commend you the support your are giving your girlfriend. It's undoubtedly a scary time for the both of you. My husband also started coming here for advice for me but "dropped out" because he was saddened to hear of progression. (But if you need a positive thread, read the one about StephN and her 10 years of NED after brain mets, my husband loves that thread!) So I'm here using his username. Both of you will get through this. There are many brain met-sters here and we have all opted for different types of treatment. It might take different combos or new drugs/therapies might be available. My advice is to read about it all and choose what fits best for her. Please keep us posted. I always think about my brain mets sisters. All my best.
