Danielle30 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 My brother just came from a visit with mom and she is complaining about the left side of her head feeling hot and clammy. My brother checked himself and says you can notice a slight temperature difference and definate clamminess on the left side and that is not apparent on the right side. I'm terrified of brain mets and wonder if that is what is causing this. Does anyone have any insight or a similar experience? Sorry if i'm being panicky...Google is not giving me any info.... Thanks- Danielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyoung20 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Danielle, I experienced some "hot headedness" during treatment. But, honestly can't remember if it was the whole head or just half. Maybe someone else can chime in and give you more info. God Bless! Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhutch1366 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 The half-head thing I also have/had, called Horner's syndrome, may or may not also involve pupil's response to light being different in one eye. Something about a nerve in the chest, when compressed causes this split in reaction. I'd mention it to the Dr., ask him to check your eyes to see if it is Horner's. It's a phenomenon mostly, I got that way after thoracic surgery rather than from the cancer itself. Doesn't mean brain mets at all. Hope this helps.
