Support Needed
Hi,
I actually noticed that I posted in the wrong category last night. Due to the serious situation I am "rattled".
Monday moringing I am having a brain met removed surgically in the language area. They tried treating it with Gamma Knife and it didn't work. I am so scared. They will be putting in Gliadel wafers to kill any cancer that they have to leave to avoid damage.
Usually, I am posivitive and confident and ok....this time I'm SCARED.
I haven't been writing everyone back on here as I did faithfully as I have been going through all kinds of tests etc and must admit I've been concentrating on myself and at a loss for words.
I am particularly bummed because I had a clear PET scan right before the dreadful MRI and it appears they finally found a chemo mix that is working for me.
Thanks for even reading my message.
Barb
