My sister who is 42 yrs was dignosed with stage 1V breast cancer in Aug. (mets to liver and bones - spine ribs hip arm and pelvis). After FLEK (not sure of the initials!) " she went into what they term ""controlled remission"". Needless to say" we celebrated! At the time I had gone with her to meet the ongologist and asked why she was not going on Herceptin (she is her2 positive). He said that she would go on that later if needed. Two weeks ago she was told that cancer has now spread to her brain - many leisons they said. Her radiologist presumming to be God told her that she would live 2 to 6 months. We are devastated as are her three children and husband. How can this be..in this day and age????
Anyway she has finished up 5 sessions of whole brain radiation and will start Taxol with Herceptin shortly after. We are wondering about the procedure of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery. Does anyone know where they are doing this in Canada? Because they said that she has several clusters of tumors is this a possibility? We are also trying to get the doctors to begin her Chemo immediately rather than waiting until May 17. I know that miracles happen everyday...I pray for all you brave survivors and that my sister too will be one.
