Brain MRI

I've been dizzy for about a week, no cold or sinus problems.  Thought maybe it was vertigo but my RO said vertigo is when the room spins, not your head.  Also, sometimes when I go to do something, it doesn't work right.  Like last night I went to move the blanket away from my head and hit myself in the face.  So this morning, they ran blood tests to test for electrolyte imbalances and checked for fluid in my ears (all that was fine) and then did things like "follow my finger with your eyes" and touch your nose and then my finger stuff and RO said I needed to go for a brain MRI today.  He said there were mild neurological signs that had him concerned.  

I hate having to wait all weekend with this hanging over my head!  I'm sure it will be nothing but this dizziness is driving me crazy.

I agree to the waiting process.  I hope everything goes alright with you and its something not that important. I've been waiting 2 weeks to get the staging right.

Sorry you have to wait . I hope they find nothing or something minor. Keep us posted. Are you done with chemo? Could it be some se from chemo?

CarylC- I too had a MRI of my brain last Wed., Friday my Oncologist called and said he wanted me to see a neurologist. The findings in my MRI were in the lining of the brain.? Of course, that is all they could tell me.

I have had headaches on both sides off and on with some dizziness. No pattern, it happens at diff. times doing diff. things.?

I hate the not knowing.

Hugs to you and pray all is okay.

CarylC--

I had a brain MRI a month after yours due to odd headaches.  My onc thinks the odd head aches were from the Herceptin.  I hope that's what's causing your symptoms and that you're doing OK.  Best wishes to you!
