How do you know if cancer has spread to the brain?

Posted on Aug 31, 2008 under cancer news and reports |

My grandmother has stage IV ovarian cancer that has spread throughout her abdomen and chest cavity, including lungs. Lately, she’s been having trouble concentrating, thinking clearly, and even doing simply thinking like counting money. How do I know if the cancer is effecting her brain?

    That is a possibility with those symptoms, but it could also be from the stress of dealing with a severe illness. She needs to be evaluated by her doctor.

    I am an RN.
