AnneM Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I went to the doctor today and got my results. My brain MRI was normal, so headaches are probably a side effect of either Tarceva or Avastin, who knows. My CT is still stable, thank goodness. I've been a nervous wreck the past few weeks feeling like something's wrong, but all is well. Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don M Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Good deal Anne: I have been thinking about getting a brain mri too, but I have read that if the headaches come and go it is probably ok. I may do it anyway. I have not had one in 3 years. Don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recce101 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 That's good to hear, Anne. Scanxiety can get to any of us at times. Aloha, Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe B Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 The news sounds very good. I can relate to the pre-scan anxiety! I too am a never smoker on Tarceva and approaching 5 years survival despite having some challenges along the way with re-occurrence. Hang in there I know individuals like yourself (female never smokers) who have survived a long time on either Tarceva or Iressa. A friend of mine is approaching 5 years on Iressa.
