another inductee into the exclusive brain met club

[Tom]

Dear Al and Linda,

I have to hand it to you. You guys have really been through the carwash with this crap. We on the site are all praying for you, not to mention our church prayer chain folks who have no idea who Linda is, but will go to our God on bended knee for intervention on her behalf. I have all the faith in the world that you will find your answers to this obstacle as well. I admire both of you more than I can explain, and you have given me personal strength for Mom's battle as well.

Even in your update post, you provide precious tidbits of information for all of us. I never knew that WBR provided openings in the blood/brain barrier. What a fabulously useful piece of knowledge that is for anyone dealing with brain mets. I too am worried about brain mets, as Mom had a seizure last night that may be related to her vascular dementia, or something more ominous.

I can only say hang in there and remember all of us are thinking of you both. I sincerely hope that some day I might get the opportunity to meet the both of you in person and shake your hands. You guys are awesome, and a shining light of hope and determination to me and others. God Bless you both.

Sincerely,
Tom

So that explains a lot about some of dear Linda's balance and stomach troubles lately. Sorry to hear that, but the stats are not much in our favor to escape this complication as time goes on.
You will take this bull by its horns and do the old rodeo thing!

One thing this board is really good for is giving us information and knowledge which prepares us to some better extent for the time when things progress with ourselves, a loved one or friend. We may not always pay close attention to everything that come to this board, but something may jog our memory or we know to search the site. Something useful will turn up.

Glad the Allos trial is so available now. It was not just one year ago when I looked into it in case I needed WBR.
Keep us posted on how the treatment is going and give ouir love and best wishes to Linda.

Al and Linda, I'm just going to be sending much love and prayer your way. I know that in our heart of hearts we're all somewhat prepared for this news to come our way, but still it's a shock. You must remember we're all thinking of you, and give Linda a BIG HUG for me.

<3 Lolly

You and Linda are and will be in my thoughts and prayers. I will pray that she gets in the arm that GETS the sensitizing agent AND that it works successfully. Take care and God bless.
