How do brain mets manifest? I keep getting this "cold" feeling in the same spot at the top of my head. It feels like someone is blowing cold air on this spot and lasts 1-5 seconds and happens 2-4 times a day... always in the same spot. Does this sound like possible mets?

    Good morning Carcharm.  Don't know exactly who brein mets mainifets itself.  Can only tell you what heappened to me.  I was doing fine until I was driving and my right arw had a seizure.  I thought initially I was having a stroke but when they got me to the hospital and did the CT scan I was told that the breast cancer had metastasided to the brain and that the brain was swelling .  I would suggest that if you are concerned that you see your doctor.

    Good luck, carcharm - I hope it's just a bit of neuralgia and nothing to do with brain mets (I never heard of anyone complaining of that type of "symptom" of it) - so I'm going to stay real positive for you.

    And Carolyn - sending much love and prayers to you for a totally successful treatment.
