Is it normal to get Brain Scans if experiencing headaches?
Hi Guys,
My girlfriend has been experiencing headaches for a while now. They aren't getting any worse. She is on Zoladex and Tamoxifen.
We've just been to see her oncologist and they have booked a head and neck ct scan. They said if they come back clear they then request MRI Scan. The reason for CT first is that it's quick to get a CT Scan.
Am I right in thinking this is common protocol if you tell your oncologist you've been experiencing headaches.
My girlfriend is beside herself, but I said it's a process of elimination to find out what the problem is.
Thanks
