cns metastasis and eye twitch?

I have had a slow eye twitch for 3 weeks now, right eyelid, that never stops. I am a 5 year stage 3 breast cancer survivor and am wondering if this twitch could be a sign of something ominous, such as a metastasis? I have no other symptoms. The eye doctor is not concerned and I feel foolish asking this question to my oncologist. What is your opinion?

I have been suffering from allergies for weeks.  I find that due to sinus troubles, I often get the eye twitch thing.  I always blame it on allergies.  It seems as though swollen sinusses put pressure on certain nerves to the eye.  Maybe?

See an eye doctor. It is more than likely nothing and will hopefully go away soon. Your eyes are a window to your brain. My fathers cancer was diagnosed this way. But his was so spread within his body they do not no where it originated at. He just went for an eye exam no other problems. But do check it out. Maybe just a strained nerve.

Eye twitches can be caused by lots of things, like eye stress and not enough sleep.  I get them from time to time myself.  I'd go ahead and ask the oncologist.

I also get eye twitches, and blurred vision, from time to time.   Can't understand why, but don't think you should be unduly concerned. Some days I get double vision when looking at the television and think I should get my eyes checked out but next day my vision is normal so I don't go to see the optromotrist/ \ Have learmed to live with it - but going to make an appt with my optomotrist next week.
Take care. pleaase get it checked out/
