spicysashimi Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I've had relatively minor pains, but more like "pangs" at a couple spots in my head. I just finished chemo and am on Traceva and Avastin. My last brain MRI was in August and it was clear, since then I've been on chemo and everything shrunk so I wasn't too worried about the ole' noggin, but now I'm a little worried. Thoughts? aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Aaron- This exact same post has been made by many many members over the years I have been here. Time and time again they go for a brain scan and it is fine. The same thing happened to John. I don't know how fast brain mets grow but since you were fine in August I would bet it isn't the cancer--but I have no license to practice so you may want to check with your doc on Monday.

Patkid Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Brian, too. He was scanned for Brain mets 3 X. Clean and clear each time. I think his headaches were from the stress and determination of his fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkala Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Aaron, You should call the Doc and get scanned. It's probably nothing but you'll sleep alot better knowing that for sure. Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl Ferguson Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Every ache and pain is a scare when you have this disease... It's part of it. I hope it's nothing Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushka Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Aaron, It has been 2 years since my last MRI and I am having heahaches too. I think it is probably sinus pain or general headaches from the dry heat etc. I still asked for an MRI and got it Wed. I should hear from it next week. I am actually not worried (she says) but I want to hear those words "empty headed" just in case. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadstimeon Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Aron, When in doubt ask your doctor for a test. If something is there and lot of times there isn't you can better deal with it--at the very least you will have peace of mind. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamasbabygirl Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 My mom did have brain mets and did not have headaches. Stress can cause headaches... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
