Re: Brain Met
I would not consider wbr as it can only be done once. Surgery then stereotactic or gamma or cyber knife. Tykerb ( a her2 targeted pill) 5 per day and a chemo - Xeloda and/or Temodor of ( also in pill forms) all pass the blood brain barrier. You should talk to your medical onc about this as a possibility. Of she is still on Herceptin, do NOT stop as it is keeping the body clear.
This is written only for ideas and discuss with her medical team.
