Jacqui,
I know this is different as I don't have the mets but I have had headaches for about 5-6 weeks now. Went and got my eyes tested - got new glasses (didn't previously wear them) helped a little not a lot. Then my darling husband reminded me about my sinus issues in Sydney when AUS was in drought - I got some nasel spray anti histamines and sudafed - 4 days later nearly headache free just a little stress headache over the top of my skull!
For ages I had been saying it was the Herceptin but apparently it wasn't!! Try the sinus approach it can't hurt?
Hope it gets better soon and congrats on the MRI results great results.
