Possible lung cancer with mets to cerebellum - MRI of the brain and CT of lungs ordered: Chances of having cancer


                                         
Asked by Unregistered on Sat 05, Apr 2008 01:03pm :

I just went to my neurologist. Because of gait abnormalities and history of essential tremors, he has ordered an MRI of the brain and CT of lungs. I'm 47 years old. Is there that much of a chance that I could really have cancer? My dad had lung cancer. I smoke and have for 30 years. I have a little cough, not too much though. I get a little short winded with exertion, especially climbing stairs or walking uphill. My main problem that has been getting more noticeable is that when I stand or walk, sometimes I lose my balance and almost fall. I get dizzy with quick movements, even when my husband is driving and turning in the car. I do have periods of nausea, especially when I lay down sometimes and the room spins. I figured maybe it's just inner ear?
