Re: Brain mets, WBRT, SRS, TDM1 and a VP shunt

Dear Chuck,

It's hard to be on the frontier of knowledge and experience. You must both be exhausted. My thoughts are with you and your wife. I am thinking that if the shunt allows the TDM1 to continue to do its work, that is a good thing. Hold your wife close and think of this cancer community surrounding you. You are not alone.
