Benk , HAVE a appointment Tues.Oct 23 an MRI that just didnt feel right to the Onc.
Waited 6 weeks for repeat.. I guess I am next in line. They thought mini strokes
maybe at best. Just couldn't tell. BY THE WAY TYPE IN BRAIN METS in search box.
Some one posted about getting a brain MRI once a year.The pet scan only goes to the base of skull I think. So I took that Idea and ran with it. It may have saved me life with an early start.

Thanks Tricia
Ariana I have discovered through both this site and the recent discussions with oncologist and radio onc that a ct or other tests are not as clear a “ picture “ as an mri so as you suggest I think they should be done constantly.

We did mri today so now comes the waiting and we should here in the next few days I guess.
I have been investigating cannabis oil from the outset of disease and I think I will peruse that for my wife should this be a less than positive result.

Thanks again
