    I did not know that chemo does not work on bc mets to the brain )-: What have you been told the drs will treat you with???? I had a PET scan of my body but I agree with you re brain MRI or something that includes the brain. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

    I didn't know that either Mama G. I wish they would automatically do those tests for everyone that has bc. Praying for you!

    I never knew that your brain
    I never knew that your brain is the 1st place that bc goes. I will certainly be more aware of any symptoms. Praying that your treatment will continue to go well for you.

    Prayers 4 U
    Sending lots and lots of prayers your way. What is it with doctor's names? My surgeon was Mohammad Ali, and since my PCP is off my insurance, my new PCP is Dr. Chittake. I told my Oncologist that first she sends me to a boxer and now to a mushroom!!!!! hahahahaha. Both doctors though are first rate and I'm glad to have them, but the names make me laugh.

    Seriously though, you are in my prayers that everything goes well for you with the cyber knife.

    Hugs - Pat
