Mary Jo,

Sorry you have been experiencing headaches, and now have been worrying about possible brain mets - have you noticed at all whether your headaches are weather related? I get bad headaches whenever there is moisture - rain or snow. A cousin of mine gets them too and I will phone her and ask if she's had headaches - last week we had alot of snow here and we both had headaches most of the week. I got these before BC, but of course now if they go on for a few days I start thinking like you... I've always been prone to sinus headaches as well. A few years ago I went to an ENT specialist who did a CT scan of my sinuses which revealed a congenital defect - I have the sinuses of an 8 year old - they could not drain properly, so the smallest little cold would turn into a full blow sinus infection. Funny thing - I think chemo and/or Herceptin did something good in this regard, as I have not had one sinus infection since this nightmare began..

On the other hand, constant UTIs have plagued me. My onc. and GP agreed to put me on Macrobid 100 1x/day as a prophylactic for a few months to see if this will help. I sure hope so, nothing else has worked.

Will this ever end? Not likely, we just have to cope as best we can. You are allowed a few down days, you would not be human if you didn't have them once in a while.

all the best
