I have an MRI (with and without contrast) for tomorrow, and an EEG for next week. I am stage III HER+++, axillary nodes positive. I am undergoing neoadjunct chemo. Finished 4 rounds A/C and just started 4 rounds of Taxatore today. I have had a couple episodes where I seem to go into a "twighlight." Mentioned to my oncologist Monday and she immediately got me appointments for the MRI and EEG. I'm hoping that there are no mets and that it is just due to stress. We'll just have to wait and see. I do agree with all the other posts that if you are having any problems with sight, dizziness, etc. you should definitely get an MRI. Better safe than sorry.
