I hope this didn't really happen because I know you had a rough time at the hospital last time you went. :)

I'm afraid it did. Minor bump with parked car & my car decided to flip & fly.AsI said, it did get me a brain scan which GP had been refusing for a long time. Trust me this didn't improve my headache😬 thus was before the plonker at hospital. x

Not a bad bit of parallel parking!!!

Only Joking now.....

Glad you are not badly hurt.

Hi Ruby red

According to GP it wasn't good & he wants to refer me urgently to Neuro surgeon, but I ain't having brain surgery so taking a rain check before doing anything. Taking homeopaths advice, she doesn't think it is a met.

Well Frank if I could do that again I would be applying for a job as a stunt driver😬quite agree with you, I wish that my GP had requested scan 10 months ago when Iasked initially & has ignored me complaining of headaches. I have given him what for & what five. Will certainly need a lot more info before anybody messes with my head & I really think thatI won't anyway. It's too big a deal & as I will still have lung cancer whatever they do, not worth the risk & will totally mess up any time I have remaining. Now at least I will have an excuse for being barking mad😂😂😂😂Best Wishes.

Gosh that is quite a flip....

A bit frustrating not getting early access to the scan and then being rushed through. Quite right to weigh up what is best for you, there may be a few people here who have had radiotherapy for brain mets or as a preventative measure.

Hope you get some options to consider and your GP gives you some reassurance they will learn from your experience.

Thinking of you,

best
