Linus Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Does anyone know if broken blood vessels in the eye could signal the return of brain mets? Hopefully, I am just being paranoid. My mother woke up on Sunday with a very bloodshot eye and does not remember being bumped there or scratching there. She did go and see her Md. and he said that broken vessles are no big deal. I am worried as she has done a couple of unusual things in the past few weeks and those behaviors have made me wonder if something is not right. Thanks for your help!

slinaresholz Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I agree with your doctor. Many elderly people get the broken blood vessel in the eye and it will get better. Several of my aunts had it. Hope it goes away soon. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindseysmom Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I don't have a answer to your question. But what the doctors said makes sense. Best Wishes, Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missyk Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I don't know for sure...and i'd be apt to listen to the dr. before me for sure (LOL) but i CAN tell you that for quite a while Mom had been getting broken blood vessels in her eyes that would leave a patch about the size of a pencil eraser in the corner usually. We still don't know that the brain met had anything to do with it at all...just another story. Like i said, Dr. (usually) knows best...i believe in "follow your gut". Hopes it goes away soon...Mom said hers used to itch as they healed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
