Gone to my Brain
I am still trying to wrap my head around this. I was in hospital for the last 3 weeks and found out that it has spread to my brain fluid. I am still in a brain fog after all the drugs - I can't believe what a scary experience that alone was. I still feel very out of it and am trying to find my way back.
I wanted to come on the board as I feel I will be needed quite a bit of support. I look forward to meeting you all.
Sorry if my post doesn't make much sense, as I say I am just returning to the world of living and am still quite disoriented.
Jamie

I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm sure you'll get plenty of support here, just give them time to respond. God bless, I hope you get the answers you need,

OMG are you doing ok? Take a deep breath, get some rest and heal before you attack! Once you get stronger you will have a plan and then attack with all your might! YOU CAN DO THIS!
What made you go to hospital? If I may ask!
-
You know we are here for you!!! Sending you love and hugs - all of them are for you tonight!
Very scary, yes...but that is that and now to get you on the right treatment and in the fight! If you ever want to PM, feel free.

Here's a link for you to help you connect with women who really get what you are going through and have more knowledge that I could ever imagine. I'll try to post a few for you to make it easy.

Hopefully this link will take you straight to the Stage IV forum. Then you can scroll down to the brain mets topics, or post a new topic where people can.
