Get thee to an MRI. There can be so many causes of headaches. But about 1/3 of breast cancer mets patients end up with brain mets, too. And that number is growing since we are living longer. Several women on this site have gone for MRI with NO symptoms and discovered they had mets. So if your wife HAS possible symptoms, tell you onc and request an MRI. By the way, a brain MRI shows more detail than a brain CT scan.
And don't panic. Brain mets is treatable. In fact, this web site was started by a woman who had brain mets initially something like 5 or 6 (maybe more) years ago. Mine were 3 years ago and so far, clear.
Love and light,
Lisa
