Could these be symtoms of metastases?

I agree with what Ysa said but wanted to add that maybe you should make sure you are drinking enough fluids. Sometimes when I'm dehydrated I feel sluggish and get headaches.

I hope you feel better soon.

Symptoms are different with mine, I've have headaches  for last 4,5 month, and kind mild on and off, different spots of head, sometimes left back of head, or right top of head or left top of head....my onc. suspects brain mets and ordered me take MRI. MRI will be taken on 19th, Tuesday.

I am, I guess in the same place as you. I woke up this morning with excruciating pain all the way down my left leg starting at the greater trochanter (where the top bone has a large bump), and more numbness on my left foot than I usually have. The pain gradually subsided, but of course I am terrified that this might be mets to the bone. Just called my Onc's office. He's not here today but they said a nurse will call me back. Hoping you are OK.

Karen, I have had bouts of dizziness and also shortness of breath since starting tamoxifen a year ago.  I recently had a clean chest xray.  I have even gone to the allergy doctor and started using an inhaler since starting tamoxifen.  My lung function has improved since being on the inhaler - I had developed adult asthma (I had it as a child).  I don't know if it is a coincidence or a side effect of the tamoxifen but I have read others complaints about shortness of breath.  The dizziness finally went away after having it for a couple months soon after starting Tamoxifen.  I also had fatigue - which seems less constant now although I still struggle with it.  I do have a very busy life however, and I'm still not sleeping well - probably due to working too much and not getting enough exercise.  

Hi Karen,

Yes, even after my surgery a few years ago, I am still tender in that area. I also had radiation in that area which adds to the tenderness. At one point, it became so sore that I had to go for physical therapy for a few weeks. My diagnosis is basically the same as yours. Perhaps you can meet with your breast surgeon and she may prescribe physical therapy to help build strengh in that area? 

I have headaches, vision problems and dizziness. I am waiting for a call from my oncol. nurse... see if she thinks it is enough to come in.... I am terrified. It has been a while since the BC. I never have regained all of my strength. Chemo brain is still with me. I am extremely irritable lately too. I should be on a cloud, because my daughter is engaged and plans to marry here in my backyard. She graduated from college, and has a wonderful fiance. so much to look forward to... but I just have that sinking feeling... ya know?

I am new to ever posting my concerns. I was diagnosed with stage 1 her2nu + 2010. I had no lymph node involvement, a lumpectomy, chemo, herceptin for a year, and radiation. For the past several months I have pain in my legs arms and back. I'm concerned about reoccurrence and bone cancer. Does anyone know the signs to look for? Thanks!

Kellylee1010 any pain you are having that lasts over a month is an issue. You need to get this checked out. It may not be mets but it's something. This is not normal but

Are you on any drugs like Tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor like Arimidex/Anastrozole? These drugs can make you stiff and is a common side effect. I'm on Anastrozole. I find I'm not as stiff as I used to be but that because I exercise daily, including 2X a week strength training.

Even it if its a side effect from these drugs you need to let your oncologist know. If you were hormone negative then these drugs would not be prescribed for you. Sorry I don't know your diagnosis because you haven't filled out that information on your profile.
