Re: What could this be?
Thank you so much Elaine, Gerri, Courtney, Chelee, Bonnie and Trish. I saw the oncologist today, she is almost certain that it is vertigo!! She says I may have picked up a virus. She said my symptons did not suggest anything sinister (i.e. brain mets). I am on medication for a week (Serc) and if it does not clear up she will order an MRI. I am so relieved tonight, when I was in the waiting room I had myself written off. Thank you all so much for keeping me sane. Courtney, I dont know where you get your courage, you have been through so much, and you always chip in to help. Very best wishes to you all and giant hugs of gratitude.
