Lisa,
Thanks again for your posts. I am taking a antidepressant. I only take the Xanax when I feel anxiety which mostly at night while sleeping. Since being diagnosed with bc I don't think I have slept a normal night. But I am still her and still kicking!

Regarding the Temodar it is an oral chemo with few s/e if taken with Zofran. My neurosurgeon said the data has show significan results with primary brain tumors but only extended life about 90 for brain mets. I took it for a year and I went off it for 6 weeks and then continued and then I got a 7mm single lesion tumor (second time). Now my Dr. said the 6 wks. may have been significant. He can only call me a failure pt. if I had stayed on schedule. It is so expensive. It is $2k a month. I have a 90/10 plan. My Dr. would like to put me back on but these medical bills even with insurance are out rageous. I just bought a lymphodema pump and it was $6500 again I pay 10%. I know it is my life but it does add up.
