Thank you all, well i in one way have an answer, a another Brain scan with in the next two weeks, a blip was found on my 3 monthly scan, and now new guide lines incorporate a brain scan for lung cancer people.
Radiologist. Thinks i have had a mini stroke, or might be a small bleed, if it gets bigger, then cancer, the best of three take your pick..
I have had no weakness, slurred speech, trouble with eyes, though i have had that a while now as waiting for 2 cataracts to be done..
If a stroke, referred to stroke unit for more tests, if C then radiotherapy, at a big hospital in London, i do not have time for all this.
My Oncologist said, i am one of, never had a patient like me, thank goodness, i bet she is thinking.
Her words your first chemo caused a heart attack, last year fractures in pelvis, caused by treatment, now some thing else, i did say i warrant a Gold Medal.
Same oncologist for 7 years every three months, then Mrs Ellie, i have know one else on my lists that have lasted this long..
Was told to make sure i get Power of Attorney in Place, because i told her if i have a massive stroke, i do not want to be resuscitated, if cancer i will carry on fighting
Thank you All, xx
Hi Chelle. He use to ask at the beginning, if I had any headaches but he hasn't asked me lately. I never suffer from them so if I start to, I will know there is something wrong. And yes, I'm not sure I want the worry of routine scans but we shall see.

Well i suppose, because LC can go to the brain, the sooner they find it the better, rather than waiting for symptom, i do not know we are all just the patients.
I had a 3 cm tumor in my brain...it was lung cancer...found only by brain ct , doc put it on by mistake!!!!
Hi Pet, How lucky the doc put it down by mistake! I think someone up there is watching over you!
Hi Judy, please remember there are several reasons why people get headaches, so if you do get one, please don't assume the worst!
Love Annette x
