get the mri

Liz,
Don't mean to scare you but we found out that my wife (Maryann) has brain mets that first presented as eye problems. After mildly mentioning flashes of light in right peripheral field for a few months Maryann finally got oncs attention and we went to the ER for dx. After CT and MRI (both w/ contrast) Maryann is now getting brain mets treated.

Better to get the MRI w/ contrast ASAP. Ideally the scan will rule brain mets out but if MRI lights up hopefully an earlier dx for you will mean easier course of treatment for you than what my Maryann is going through.
