MRI results and now lack of sleep due to headaches

Hi all

I finally got my MRI results.... No new tumors in fact one has gone all together. All have had a large reduction but still there.
Any way i don't know what to do Thursday night last week was a really bad night headaches all over the place. Phoned onc said may be sinus or virus. Anyway this has gone on for a week I had another bad night last night and am getting my sister in law to help with children.

I asked about Gamma knife and my onc said it would not be suitable for me?????

I'm am planning to to go Honolulu 7th Sep and have requested the gamma knife center there look at my notes and see if they will take me.

I don't know whats going on not sure if i have new mets or my old mets are growing or maybe the pain is from shrinking. Whatever it is I don't like it.

We don't have gamma here and it took 6 weeks to finally get my results there are not enough doctors or money in our budget so they try an leave us alone for as long as they can.... And then its to late.

Lets just hope my night time pain in my head is just that a pain and nothing else.

Luv to all
Jacqui
