In my Brain

Hi everyone. Some of you may remember me, I’ve been around for a while (04) Just been diagnosed with brain mets, I’m devastated. I was doing so well on Herceptin although I’ve only recently been told Herceptin doesn’t reach the brain???. I’m at rock bottom at the moment and desperate to hang on to something. The tumor was operable and has been removed (half inch) and I’m about to start on full head radio therapy so I guess that’s something I suppose. Is there anyone out there that has or is going through something similar. Desperate to hear from you.

dear paula Sorry to hear you’ve had brain surgery. A friend of mine had radiotherapy to his head. I remember they made a sort of perspex mould of his head to make sure the rays went in the right place. Sounds grim but he was more worried about hair loss. I know some women in the secondaries forum have actually experienced radiotherapy for brain mets so maybe post there as well.
