Why After 8 yrs don't' I stop worrying. Brain worries....

Ok I know I'm being over-reactive, but I can't rationalize myself out of it!  Lately I've had some issue that bug at me.  I was diagnosed 8 years ago stage 2 double negative.Clean since. But here's what's happening.  I have migraines and 3 years ago started getting auras with them.  That doens't worry me except that I've been getting them several times a week lately.  I see a neurologist and will see him in a week (yes I'll be asking! he specializes in patients with or that had cancer my onc recommended him). And every day my eyes are whacked.  I never see clearly.  I just had my eyes checked this summer and they were fine. But there's more.  I realized last week that I've been tripping a lot.  Every day I trip just walking down the hall.  Like I don't lift my foot enough and catch it.  Then a few times I was trying to say something and I honestly couldn't get my mouth to say it.  I had to stop, take a breath, focus and talk slowly and then I could speak but it was work.   And yes headaches.  I've read that brain mets headaches are usually a.m.  Yes a.m. but I can't say exclusively.  

All this just frustrates me because I know it's nothing BUT!  Not sure what I want from anyone here - just words of encouragement I guess.  

We'll see what my neurologist says I guess.  I'm on meds for the migraines/auras, but they suck.  I have to take them 3 times a day and that's really hard.  I'm out of meds so I know that's part of the issue, but it scares me that without meds I get them at least weekly if not more. That isn't right - in my thinking that's not the sign of a healthy body!

To top if off I had to have a recheck on a mammo twice now for the same area.  Both times the rechecks have come back normal.  Even my onc agrees. But when I run that area, where it's suppose to be just a thickening, hurts! 

 ARG! Ok I've vented some.  Thanks

Have you had any scans to rule out mets?  You sound really concerned.  It's probably nothing - you will feel better when you know for sure.

Hi, Trucking.

No words of wisdom, just supporting you with concern. I am also 8 years out, and never a day passes without it pops up in my mind....just cannot get rid of the thought. I keep getting silly people telling me not to worry, once you pass 5 years you are home and away !! I wish.

Let us know how you go on, it does help to talk.

Isabella.
