Skull Mets?

[fcrcm]

Dear LuAnn,
I have numerous bone mets, including one in the skull. Of course I asked my onc. how often a skull metastasis spread into the brain. He said "Very rarely." Tho my disease is progressing (on Herceptin, Arimidex, Zometa and now Faslodex) the mets in my skull has never been a problem. If it became painful, it could be radiated. So, I hope you take this as good news. Just consider a skull metastasis like any other bone metastasis.
Cheers, fcrcm

Thankyou all for your support. I kind of figured from past posts that skull mets would be treated like other bone mets. I'm relieved it is not brain mets. I don't have any major symptoms other then a little pressure above my right temple which I really have to look for. Thanks again. Love and Blessings from Lu Ann.
