  • Hi all, finished chemo, radiotherapy, herceptin injections etc for HER2+ breast cancer :-)
  • having really sore heads for past few weeks, after pain meds from gp, but not helping. I was advised to go to hospital. Had ct scan, blood tests etc all came back fine. Eyes tested agai, fine.  The gp is organising a MRI scan to get full clarity.  She (go) mentioned headaches could be related to a brain tumour !!  Hopefully not though.Has anyone ever been in this situation ?
  • thanks for reading and any advice is greatly appreciated x
  • Dear ,

    Gee that was nice of your GP - NOT! AS if you haven’t had enough worry - what is saying that to you going to help ! Awful . 
    Great that you are getting all the tests and scans but the waiting is the cruel part . 
    I have a dear friend - she hasn’t had cancer - who had terrible headaches - she got all sort of tests and some not so pleasant ones and she got the all clear . Months of worry and they never ever got to the bottom of them . She can still get them but they aren’t so bad as she is not worrying . 
    Are you getting out and about , having a laugh with friends ? Have you tried reflexology for total relaxation - I can thoroughly recommend . 
    Sorry I can’t be of more help , but I can relate to your plight as when I had my CT scan of my tummy to check the blood vessels before my DIEP reconstruction, they noted a “growth “on my spine - this turned out to be something like a freckle!! That I would have had all my life and it’s nothing . But the worry till they checked the scan was awful - why did they need to mention it before the scan was properly checked ? It wasn’t going to help me ! 
    I know they need to be transparent but not if it serves no use or help us meantime . 

    take care and keep us informed of the outcome . I hope you can get relief from the headaches . But worry won’t help ( easy to say that though ) 

    night night
