I guess you would need a brain MRI or some other method of diagnosis tests, you would have better information.

I did have a brain met (recurred a year later after original diagnosis), but I never experienced dizziness.

However, when I was on my initial chemo's (4x A/C dose dense, 12x Taxol weekly, I often felt very light-headed. I was told that it was due to having low blood counts (anemic, etc). Perhaps this may be your reason.

I would push for an MRI.

Hoping that you will feel better soon. Keep us posted.
