Hello from me!

Just wanted to introduce myself … I’m 56 and had a small brain met diagnosed Feb 2023. I had Gamma Knife that March, which shrunk the met at first. Then this year it started to progress and doubled in size between March and June 2024. I had a craniotomy and tumour excision on 29th July, recovering well from that. Onc appt yesterday, confirmed met was ER and PR positive like my primary bc, but the pathology didn’t mention HER2, which was a feature of my primary. More pathology scheduled to check, this time with breast pathology team rather than neurosurgery team. It’s highly likely my met is also HER2 though, in which case Oncology recommend a 3 month program of weekly Paclitaxel and Phesgo. I’ve no other brain mets or mets elsewhere that are detectable at present; so I’m looking on the prospect of more chemo as a short term blip that will hopefully buy me a good survivorship and continued quality of life
