Rhonda,
It's me, Karen, with the same symptoms as you...I have, as I told you before, terrible problems with the following: blurred vision (from the dilated pupil), pressure, swelling, drainage, eye pain, ear congestion and pain, etc., etc. My oncologist, neurologist, and eye doctor all think (after several different tests, including a brain MRI) that these "episodes" are ocular migraines triggered by the Herceptin..
You mentioned in your post that you were going to get a CT scan. Are you getting a whole body scan, or just the brain? The reason I am asking is because my doctor ordered an MRI with contrast. Apparently this is one of the best ways to get a good look at the brain. My neurologist told me the same thing. You may want to ask your doctor about his/her thoughts regarding, MRI or CT scan.
I am sorry you are so worried. Let me know what you decide.
