weird visual things

Sometimes I would see a very brief flash of red gold colors in the left upper part of my vision. Lasted for seconds and was very intermittent. Then I had 3 episodes of very brief double vision followed by a headache that turned out to be a migraine. ( I have a long history of migraines and have had visual changes with my migraines for several years. )

No one thought we would find anything but I asked for an MRI because I am her 2 positive and my last mri was a year ago.

Low and behold I have 3 very small ( 1 mm, 2mm, and 4 mm ) brain mets in areas that have absolutely nothing to do with vision. I basically have no symptoms related to these brain mets.

I think it is a really good idea to get routine brain mri's for women who are her 2 positive because we are at increased risk. There is no downside to an mri.

Rose - think you are right about us Her2 people getting a brain mri Thanks for your post. Cathy B

My sister has brain mets (2nd time). First time she had the stereotatic radiosurgery and this time she will be treated with temodar.
How will your brain mets be treated?

I had stereotactic radiosurgery yesterday. Can your sister's new lesions be treated with another round of radiosurgery?

Yes her onc said that after 2 months on the temodar, she will have another MRI and if things have progressed she can do the SRS again.
