Re: percentage of us who develop brain mets???
ggmom, you don't have to stay off the computer necessarily! But it seems you are new to all of this and it can be scary at first to be reading so much and not knowing how it applies to oneself. And, of course, fearing the worst. That is an understandable reaction. But it is important to try and stay in your lane and concentrate on what is on your immediate horizon. First things first! And keep the faith. We are here to help...
