Hi,

I have a breast cancer history diagnosed two years ago in my 30s as stage 11a her2+++, micro met only to one lymph node.

Now I am having headaches which persist even though my MRI was negative. My neurologist just thinks the headaches are stress and tension related.

Have any of you have a MR spectroscopy done despite a negative MRI. If so was it diagnostic for cancer when the MRI was not. Thanks for the information, I really would like to know it I should push for the MR spectroscopy.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

robin,
I guess i have never heard of mr septroscopy? Can you explain it?

Robin,
I'm with Michelle, I don't know what a MR spectroscopy is, but assume it must be more definitive. I myself have had 2 brain MRI's, one due to out-of-the-ordinary headaches, but whether you push for it or not is an entirely personal decision based on your level of concern, as many things can cause headaches.
Love, Lolly

What is a spectroccopy?
