    Normally...

    I would write that you should try to keep the spirits high, but as always you do that excellently without needing encouragement to do so :-)

    Bumpy road ahead, but Im sure you will manage.

    WHOO HOO! Glad it went well

    WHOO HOO! Glad it went well and you are doing great! What a remarkable person you are! Your attitude should be bottled! You are a good example for me! Take care of yourself and don't over do it! ;)  Oh, do they give you meds now that you had a brain met? Is it Avastin or something? I thought i read that they usually add something to treatment!  Love and hugs!

    Cyber Radiation Being Done

    Hi Everyone,

    I will be having cyber radation to help make sure mets are no longer in brain.  Tomorrow going for a full body MRI and hoping for no surprises.  I will be having 3 back to back cyberknife radiation treatments, but there will be no other meds at this time.  Doc says you can't treat what is not there.  I had just graduated to every 6 months tests, will now be going back to every 3 months.  I am very lucky I do not have to start meds yet.  If they can get it with surgery that is the best way! I am so happy to be here with my family for the holidays!  Been fighting the fight for 3 years and I will not go out easy, got to much love for life!  Love to you all and Happy Thanksgiving!

                                                      Love and prayers for good health to us all!

    Great news!!

    ...and on no meds..

    Glad you are doing well, Brenda. you said something interesting as I have thought about this often. I guess you have not ben on any meds. I have had infusions for nivolumab and zometa. (almost forgot IL-2) But nothing oral. I haven't much considered taking an oral. We'll see. Get strong.

    Brilliant!!!

    Just read your post, I am new here and new with my diagnosis, not had my first follow up visit after surgery scheduled for Feb.  I also have a great support system but fear sometimes stops me in my tracks.  I have been on this journey since August and know that I will meet people like you brave and postive that will lift me when I fall, thank you for your bravery.
