Hi Linda and Sam
I have had mets in lung for over 5 years but recent bad headache and blurred vision resulted in diagnosis of 2 brain tumours. I had surgery on the larger one which was just under the dura(membrane) in the right occipital region of the brain on the 7th Sept. All went well but now awaiting radiotherapy - 10 treatments to whole brain in a couple of weeks. I'll then be having more chemo.
My neurosurgeon did a great job, and as a bonus I only had a small strip of hair shaved and it is not apparent to others. Now I find that I will lose my hair after the whole brain radiotherapy not to mention after the chemo. This will be the third time.
Gee this is a rotten disease. I've just had my 13th anniversary of BC diagnosis, and early next year it will be 6 years with mets. All that time I have worked fulltime, and feel well. I am very glad to be alive and living a normal life, but it is really confronting at times.
If I work out how to do it I will try and keep you updated, and hope to hear how you're both going too.
