Re: dizzy and scared
This is interesting to me in several ways. I have been dizzy several times and it felt like vertigo, it went away quicker, though. I did have several months of carboplatin. Bonnie, it would be nice if we could be immune to other problems. Sometimes it seems that every new symptom has to be related to cancer. Shobha, let us know how your test turns out. I have been considering asking about a brain MRI. It has been a while and the dizziness and occasional blurred vision are worrying me.
