Re: Question on brain mets
Hi Bejuce,
I had "just one" brain met, no symptoms prior to seizure, and 9 months after finishing Herceptin and being declared NED. Was stage 2b at diagnosis, but the tumor of origin was very vascularly (sp?) involved, so not surprising (but very disappointing!) to have mets so quickly.
The brain lesion was treated with Gamma Knife Radiation. So far, no new progression in the brain. Liver mets discovered on routine scan--again, no symptoms---in Oct, now doing Taxotere/Herceptin/Perjeta.
Will be sending healing energy your way for negative results and awaiting the news. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blessings,
Paula
