Rachel Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Cat, My heart goes out to you. My brain mets were treated with WBR. Side effects: fatigue & memory loss some dizziness. But worth it as they are now NED. Please call your daughter. I'm sure she would want to help & it would be best to not be alone. I will be praying for you and sending waves of positive energy. Please find comfort from knowing so many of us are praying for you. Keep us posted. Rachel Quote

Remembering Dave Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Cat, I'm glad your ex is coming to get you. He must really care about you. I hope you can be happy and comfortable at your daughter's, are you going to get treatment for these brain mets? am anxious to hear what the doc says, and am hopefully they can be zapped away with gamma knife or something. hang in there, Karen C.

kimblanchard Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 Sorry to hear about your bad news Cat. Has your doctor started you on dexamethasone yet? That usually helps very rapidly. I think you have small cell? that generally responds very well to radiation, would be worth at least considering. Are you going to do treatment or haven't met with your doctor yet? I don't understand that, usually this kind of stuff should be taken care of right away... Quote
