    I was scheduled for scans last Friday, but I ended up having it done on Thursday at the ER.  I had a headache that started the Sunday before and had it all week.  Not a normal headache, but like a migrain.  I went to my family DR Wednedsay and she put me on Predisone and said it should help within 24 hours and if not go to the ER.  Well it didn't help so Thursday I went in.  They did an emergency CT scan of my brain and then the rest of my body.   They told me there was nothing that showed up on the scan at all anywhere.  What a relief.  Stil

    I was scheduled for scans last Friday, but I ended up having it done on Thursday at the ER.  I had a headache that started the Sunday before and had it all week.  Not a normal headache, but like a migrain.  I went to my family DR Wednedsay and she put me on Predisone and said it should help within 24 hours and if not go to the ER.  Well it didn't help so Thursday I went in.  They did an emergency CT scan of my brain and then the rest of my body.   They told me there was nothing that showed up on the scan at all anywhere.  What a relief.  Still not sure why the headachs.  They gave me vicodin for the pain and motrin.  These have been helping of course.  I have not had a headache since last Saturday.  I have an appt with Onc this Friday.  Even though I got the results of the CT already I still wanted to keep the appointment because this is the doctor that will be scheduling my furture scans.  If all stays good I want to go back to work in the next couple months and maybe try to live a normal life once again if possible.
