Re: Brain Mets came back -- Help Needed

Update on Me:
I just had Gamma Knife done last Thursday. Everything went smoothly and the doctors zapped 3 tumors, the biggest is around 1cm. They told me that the MRI showed that these 3 tumors did not grow since December 15th and even got slightly smaller and no new tumors showed up. I am happy with this and I guess it might be due to the Xeloda I have been taking since end of November.

I saw my onc on Jan. 3rd and he would not add Tykerb for now. He would wait until I finish Gamma knife or until I show progression again in the brain or else where. He keeps saying that he doesn't want me to run out of options by changing drugs too often.

This is where I am and I also feel good in terms of breathing after I started Xeloda (I also have lung and liver mets). My next scan will be sometime in February and I hope to have good results from Xeloda.
