Radiation Therapy for Brain Metastases

Signs of brain metastases

• Sometimes you have no obvious symptoms or signs that the cancer has spread to the brain. Rather, you may come in for a routine follow-up visit and the cancer is found during exams or on imaging scans.
• Possible common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, blurred or double vision, memory and/or personality changes, speech changes, or nausea.
• Sometimes changes in nerve function causing numbness, weakness of part of your body or problems with balance can also occur.
• If you begin to have these symptoms, call your doctor. These symptoms can also indicate other health issues that may need quick medical attention.
