Re: Brain Mets
My heart goes out to you and your family. I can not offer any brain met advice except research and don't give up. I am 47 and have a 13 year old, so am very close to your wife's situation. I know it must be a shock and can empathize with the fear and worry you must have. Certainly by three years out you must have been feeling very comfortable and then this happens. As you can see on this site many others are dealing with all kinds of metastasis and doing very well. You have come to the right place, you will receive lots of advice, care and support here! My prayers for peace for you.
Elizabeth
