Re: Help! Brain mets besides lung mets
Karla,
That really stinks. You'd think the Drs. would have sorted all that out ahead of time. I just got the word it’s most likely brain mets. They can’t biopsy it because of the location, so we’re moving forward that it’s a metastasis. Truthfully, lets hold hands and do this together. I'll be waiting for you.
I just called to make appointments for the Gamma Knife.
I am rooting and praying for you. Hang in there. We can do it together.
Kris…
