Hello Ladies, I just wanted to reach out to all of you who are living/surviving with brain Mets. I live in Australia so I hope you don’t mind me joining in on your chat. My journey started back in 2011 when frost diagnosed with stage 2b invasive bc hr+ her2+ I was 44. I had right mastectomy and lymph node removal (4 out of 9). Chemo and radiation hormone therapy and herceptin for 12 months. Everything was going fine until July last year when I went to my Dr for a general check up. Had blood tests and found liver function was high. Anyway, result was liver, lung and spine Mets. Had chemo for 3 months and herceptin and Perjeta every 3 weeks. Everything was going fine tumours had reduced and I was feeling good. About 3 weeks ago I started getting pressure type headaches. Went to Dr who ordered MRI. Found a number of brain Mets. I am currently having 12 rounds of radiation number 9 today. I’m on dexamethasone and all the lovely side effects that go with that. Like many of you I am still processing this progression but am comforted In knowing that I am not alone. Your posts have been great comfort to me. thanks Kerry
