Patient: My mother had her breast cancer removed in 2002 and underwent chemotherapy after the surgery, but in October this year, the cancer was found to have metastasized to the pericardium, with a large amount of pericardial fluid and a small amount of abdominal and pelvic fluid. After three courses of chemotherapy, the effusion was controlled, but now the metastasis has been found in the brain, and there are two lumps, one large and one small. I just had my first treatment today, and I’m not sure how it’s going. I also asked my current attending doctor, who is not very optimistic about this condition, (of course, I won’t tell my mother about this) he said that the best he can do in a case like this is to extend her life by two years. The main means to control the progress of brain metastases is radiotherapy. Most of the neurological symptoms will improve after radiotherapy, which can extend the survival period from six months to one year. All you have to do is to cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and find a way to make your mother happy every minute of the day.
