Can chemo cause vertigo?

In addition to the brain MRI, ask for a full spine MRI, ie, thoracic, cervical, and lumbar. I wish we would've had all these MRI s done when my husband had unbalance issues after receiving the same treatment. Could've been the beginning of leptolemengeal metastasis, which would've gotten him treatment earlier for that. Leptolemengeal metastasis is rare but common in lung and breast Cancer and is often overlooked until it's harder to treat.

@valhal
Haven't heard of this kind of metastasis.
My mutation is very rare HER2/L775P and I have it, so still important to check those rare possibilities.

@valhal, This had to be a difficult time, knowing something is wrong. I'm glad that they eventually identified the cause of the symptoms that he was experiencing. How is your husband doing? How are they treating the Leptomeningeal metastasis?
