HI Karla,
It will be 7 years this May that i progressed to Stage 4 and was diagnosed with a 3cm tumor to my prefrontal cortex. I had surgery and stereotactic radiation. At that time they wanted to follow up with WBR and I refused. I am currently NED and on Tykerb and Hereptin. I work full time as a 5th grade teacher and live my life. I am sending this message to you because I want you to have hope. You will have to take steroids, and for me that was the worst part of the experience.
My thoughts are with you. You are doing the right thing by having friends over tonight.
