Thanks to those that have replied. I was dx stage 1c, grade 3 and feel blessed to not have had any recurrences. I am worried because I have been feeling dizzy for the last 3 weeks though and am a little unsteady on my feet (the unsteadiness has been the case since after surgery in 2005). The dizziness is wierd, it is not naseua, and it is not constant. It comes and goes in jolts and sometimes it stays for up to an hour or so and then is gone, but i feel it at least 1/day if not more.

I am also on synthroid since I had my thyroid out and the pharmacy gave me a generic without telling me about 2 weeks prior to the dizziness. They tell you for thyroid in particular to not take a generic without talking to your endocrinologist so I know that it changes the way it interacts with you. I am hoping that now that i am back on the synthroid specifically the dizziness will go away.

When I spoke to my onc last week he said he did not think it would be caused by the change in the thyroid drugs and he said to call him if the dizziness gets worse and he would order a brain scan. I thought I saw someone post something that it in the majority of cases people had other mets before their brain mets, so I was really just posing that question more formally. I was looking to see if there are any others on the board with an early stage like mine that then found brain mets without 1st finding other mets.


Thanks again for the replies.
Hugs,
Patricia
