Re: Severe Symptoms: Brain Mets & Decadron

I just want to say that I am happy your mother's problem has been properly diagnosed and treated. She should be on the mend soon and you can both put this behind you.

4Adrianna--your mother is SO lucky to have you

You are the poster child of not giving up and reaching out and looking for information

I always try to find lessons/silver linings in bad situations. Here is my take on this one: When hospice is suggested it behooves one to alway seek out other opinions to be sure a totally reversible problem is not being missed.

Cause for celebration!!!
