Is It Cancer Or Allergy Causing Dizziness?

I am 43 and was diagnosed in May with Glioblastoma multiforme stage IV cancer. I have had surgery, radiation and Pill and IV chemo since then. Now over the holidays, I am starting to get dizzy. Is this allergy or symptoms of the cancer. My last MRI 2 weeks ago showed scarring around the hole they scooped.

Allergy is unlikey to cause dizziness.
Is your fluid intake adeqate. If not improve it.
If you have a bp apparatus please check your bp.
Rule these out.

Radiation and surgery can cause scarring and edema(fluid retention) in your brain which can cause these symtoms.
