Re: headaces after wbr?

Hi Pam,
Im new to the Brain Mets journey and I do the same thing as you. Every little twing, twitch or slight headache, I think Oh God more mets or it's growing. A few weeks before my Brain MRI (4/21), I had those symptoms but gratefully, it was a good report. I don't know for sure but I think that it happens because the tumor is shrinking and dying that's why I get those feelings.

I am praying for you to have a very good MRI report too.

Love & Hugs,
Kris....
