My wife has brain mets and we have gone the WBR, Gamma knife Tykerb route. We are signing up for the Neratinib clincal trial. Last week she started showing alarming symptoms and we found out that tumor growth had closed her 4th ventricle, causing hydrocephalus.
Her options were to do nothing and die in a few weeks or have a Cerebellar Craniotomy to get some of the tumor out to buy some time.
She had the surgery Tuesday, and it was scary seeing her being so ill. After 2 days in thje nuero ICU, they got her in the room last night.
This morning, she woke up and was hungry. She is back. It is a miracle. We are so relieved. She goes home Saturday or Sunday.
My take away-
-Women are stronger than men
-if you don't know if you should quit, then keep going
-We live in the age of miracle and wonder

Thanks for letting me vent.
