Recognizing the Warning Signs

For many women, the symptoms of brain metastases are subtle and easily misattributed. If you recognize any of these signs, notify your oncologist immediately and request a brain MRI.

  • Headaches (new or persistent)
  • Dizziness or loss of balance
  • Nausea or vomiting not linked to treatment
  • Vision changes or blurriness
  • Memory problems or confusion
  • Mood changes or irritability
  • Fatigue beyond typical treatment side effects
  • Trouble walking or coordination issues
  • Slurred speech or cognitive delays

You have the right to get an MRI paid for by your insurance company.
