Hi Rina,

I wanted to chime in too. Just wanting you to know that I pray that Monday comes quickly for you and that brain mets are ruled out PRONTO. I, too, suffer from occasional dizzy spells (as I call them). They have been going on for over a year now with no rhyme or reason for them. They will be gone for months and then reappear. Mine seem to be sinus related. I have never been to my onc. because of it or any other doctor HOWEVER, have thought of it on occasion. Everytime I think I should call the symptoms disappear for a while. So, I haven't.

I'm sure your dizziness too is related to something other than brain mets BUT I do understand the worry. Boy, do I. As I always say to people (just to be funny) I've had cancer in every part of my body in the past 3 years and so far I'm still doing well. Haha!

Love to you "sister" and prayers too.

Mary Jo

I too had a bout with vertigo...and was so sure that it was something fatal, I suffered with it for 2 months before finally going to the ER. I insisted on an MRI (and got one!). It turned out to be vertigo, plain and simple...and eventually cleared up. It is so true that we worry about every little pain...let us know how your appointment goes!
