Hi, Mary Jo- I just want to share that I had similar symptoms to you recently this fall, and I too, thought I probably had brain mets. It had been a year since my last brain MRI, and I was nervous about the next one, which my onc agreed to let me have.

The MRI showed no mets, praise the Lord, and it's funny how the symptoms seem much less and not constantly in my thoughts, after hearing good news.

Back to the symptoms which I think were from sinuses. Mostly aches (never sharp or severe) that came and went in the front of my head...above the eyebrows...mostly one side, and also in the back of my head, one side, same location, off and on. This went on for about 3 months, and thinking back on it, it was after we had real cold weather and a hard freeze, when the symptoms became less noticable (which is what may happen with sinus troubles.)

I then remembered that this has happened before during the fall, starting in early August. So...here's to being thankful for allergies or sinus problems or whatever the reason that at least wasn't cancer related!

And, oh yes, how all of us who post here, "Get it." Again and again, we get it. We all put on the worry hat from time to time...maybe for a short time, and sometimes longer. It's not fun. Then, thankfully, we also have days without so much worry.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Wishing you and everyone, a peaceful and blessed Christmas.

And, oh, we have had a blizzard in South Dakota for the last 2 weekends. -40 wind chills tonight...hang on, it's headed your way.
