Help! Brain mets besides lung mets

[Kavy]

Hi, everyone,
Sorry for taking so long to update.
I got a call from Stanford, and they said i have to remove the tumor before I do Cyberknife. What a disapointment. I saw a neurosurgeon yesterday, and he said he will remove both tumors (cerebellum and occiptal lobe), so I will have a craniotomy next week, I don't know the date yet, then Gamma Knife a few weeks later to zap the tumor beds and another small tumor.
I'm still getting used to the idea. I know that Joan, Barbara, Stephen and Christine know how I feel. Any advices, suggestions for before or after the surgery?
Thanks again for your help. I feel blessed to be part of this beautiful family.

Joyce, I'm sorry your daughter couldn't get Xeloda with Tykerb. I can't believe her doctor didn't give to her. Can't you change oncologists? What about Temador? Praying that she gets the right treatment to help her.

Grace, how are you doing after the Gamma Knife?

Love to all,
Karla V.
