Today is National Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day


 Sharing this information from breastcancer.org:

"The most common breast cancer metastasis sites are the bones, the lungs, the brain, and the liver. 

"The symptoms of metastatic breast cancer can be very different depending on the location of the cancer:

  • constant back, bone, or joint pain
  • difficulty with urinating (either incontinence or not being able to go); this can be a sign that the nerves in your back are being pinched by a cancer
  • numbness or weakness anywhere in your body
  • a constant dry cough
  • difficulty breathing
  • shortness of breath
  • chest pain
  • loss of appetite
  • abdominal bloating, pain, or tenderness
  • constant nausea, vomiting, or weight loss
  • jaundice (a yellow tinge to the skin and whites of your eyes)
  • severe headaches
  • vision problems (blurry vision, double vision, loss of vision)
  • seizures
  • loss of balance
  • confusion."
