Dreadful news that the breast cancer has spread to my brain, and whole brain radiotherapy is about to begin. I'd appreciate some suppport from anyone who has been there or is going through the same. Thanks

VLM2011 - I'd like to say it was the best day of my life and that I feel victorious. I'd like to, but in reality it was the worst self inflicted pain other than childbirth that I have ever been though.
