https://learnlooklocate.com/brain-metastasis/ 👉👉 Brain metastases and breast cancer, not an easy topic, but one that we need to be educated and empowered about, especially when it comes to the symptoms. I’m a six year survivor, guys, so anyone touched by breast cancer should be aware of these symptoms and I’m so grateful for my medical advisor, Dr. Ramji Rajendran. He’s a radiation oncologist in the Chicago area who put together a huge project to educate all of us about these symptoms that could be a sign, just could be a brain metastasis.
So, he says any patient with breast cancer can potentially present with metastatic disease. So, when metastases can develop anywhere in the body, the brain is unfortunately one of the most common sites for those diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. The most common symptoms of breast cancer related brain metastases are and can include, and I’m going to read them off for you guys, headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, behavioral changes, memory loss, slurred speech, vision, and /or hearing problems, seizures, or stroke. So, I just want to bring this forward. There’s so much more to this extensive topic. And if you want to learn more, please send me a note. But I just want to bring this forward
Cynthia Jordan, Founder of Learn Look Locate LLC in 2018 has generated a global movement to provide critical education for the early detection of breast cancer. It is estimated that one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. While most of these cases are diagnosed in women over the age of 50, the disease can affect women of any age. Early detection is critical to survival, yet many women are not familiar with the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
We advocate the importance of self-breast exams, what to look for when performing a self-exam, and when to see a doctor. We provide resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as for their families and friends.
The five-year survival rate for women who catch their cancer early is nearly 100%. Here’s an important statistic. Many women do not perform self-breast exams or see a doctor for regular screenings. Learn Look Locate LLC wants to highlight the work of organizations around the world that are working to promote early detection of breast cancer. We will feature stories of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and share their journeys.
There are several ways to diagnose breast cancer, including mammograms, biopsies, and ultrasounds. Once breast cancer is diagnosed, there are a few treatment options available, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The best way to treat breast cancer is to catch it early and to get the best treatment possible.
There is a strong community of women who have been affected by breast cancer. In addition, there are a number of organizations and resources available to help women find the support they need.
Learn Look Locate LLC provides resources for women who want to get involved in the fight against breast cancer.
