Question for those with brain mets
I have had a headache on the top left side of my head for 3 days. I very rarely get headaches. I have an appointment with the onc NP tomorrow. My question is: Did you have symptoms of brain mets before the tests, or did they find the mets on a test before you became symptomatic?
Thanks!
Jean C.
