Just as soon as my Swine Flu/Thrush epidemic passed me by, the next one had already taken me over. Daily mild to moderate headaches have been my latest encounter. A guy can't really catch a break here, can he? I wasn't very worried at first. I figured it was flu leftovers or something else mundane. Unfortunately by this morning, I had become concerned that it was a bad sign--a sign that the tumor was coming back. Needless to say, this notion was not a happy one.
Fortunately though, I talked with my doctor this morning and she put my fears at ease. Apparently, mild to moderate headaches can actually be a good sign. There's a good chance that it's actually tumor breaking apart or shifting around. The problem with brain cancer (and maybe all cancers, too) is that swelling accompanies any physical changes that occur. Cancer growing, shrinking or even just shifting causes swelling. Basically it's too bad for me as I have no idea what's causing the headache, but I'm hoping that my docs are right, and it's due to shrinking or shifting. Anyway, it's just more Tylenol to get rid of the headaches. Hopefully, that's all this will take.
