Hi there,
Did most of you that had CK have some dizziness and balance issues a few days afterward?
Thank,
Sherry

I don't know, I haven't had any treatment yet, but I wanted to say I hope it isn't bad if you do have it! And I hope you are feeling better sooner rather than later!

Hang in there!

Andrea

I had dizziness episodes for a number of months after treatment.  They come and go.  You should expect that as the treatment takes its course and begins killing the tumor, you will experience strange sensations and episodes where symptoms intensify.  At least that was my experience.  But the important thing is to always keep in mind that the symptoms generally will fade with time.  Again, my experience.  My AN was much larger than yours but you can read details about my post-CK experience at my website below.  I think my symptoms were much worse than average, but even in my case, around 14 months after treatment, nearly all symptoms seem to have receded into a background presence.  Best of luck, Francesco
