6 new brain mets!

This is my first post after a considerable absence. In 2014 I was diagnosed with metastatic lymph nodes in the mediastinum of the left lung together with a secondary in the body of the fifth lumbar vertebrae of the spine. I commenced chemo (Herceptin and Abraxane). The chemo was temporarily halted in June 2014 when I had neurosurgery to remove a right Temporal lobe secondary. Subsequent CSF leaks from the surgery site resulted in more neurosurgery in August and December with corresponding delays in the chemo. Good news was that the chemo regime had worked on the lung mets but not the spine. An MRI in January 2015 now shows 6 new brain metastasies - the largest being in the brain stem and the next largest in the Right Cerebellum. I am now at Day 17 on the Tykerb and Zeloda chemo regime and experiencing some very violent digestive upsets!! I am doing this for the sake of the three most precious things to me - my three beautiful children
