I am a lung cancer patient on Tegrisso, targeted therapy. Because of this I get a MRI brain scan every 6 months . Six months ago the scan was normal. The results of the December scan showed multiple cerebral microbleeds and amyloid places. Not much information was given and I am seeking advice.

Last November I had a hemorrhagic stroke in the right occipital lobe and was consequently diagnosed with CAA. I’m fortunate to have a neurologist in the family and the first to have discovered the CAA. He suggested to me that I get rid of my current neurologist and get a stroke neurologist which is what I did. there is nothing they can do for you so you try to live your life not worrying too much,way easier said than done and with the Internet it’s 10,000 times worse. I set up goals for myself one of the things that happens from CAA is I get between 30 and 50 headaches a day since my stroke i’m supposed to be on the lookout for a thunderclap headache and a sudden increase in blood pressure. It’s a little unnerving to say the least. in the year after all of this happened I don’t know that I’m any better at that than I was from day one.
I wish you nothing but good luck, and a long life!
