checking out my vertigo and need prayers

I do not normally worry or get nervous until I have to or have a definitive reason to, however, I will admit I am very frightened over this vertigo I have been experiencing for several weeks now. I have an appointment with my ENT doctor on Monday and will also call my oncologist on Monday to discuss this with him. I know I probably should have called him first but tried not to panic. My internist first tried treating me with bonine which didn't do too much and then referred me to my ENT. I know the nature of Her2 and it's high rate of recurrence and metastasis but I didn't want to jump to the worst conclusion right away, but the more I think about it and experience it, (subtle as it is), the more I worry that it could be a sign of the worst, brain mets. I keep telling myself not to panic because I was stage 1, no node involvement and I had my year of herceptin but I am still very worried. Please say prayers for me. I promise, I will call the onc on Monday and will report back as soon as I know anything. Thank you sisters for your support.
