Early symptoms of brain cancer aid doctors in successfully treating, curing, and managing the disease. In some cases the disease spreads to other parts of the body. This is usually due to the failure of early detection and can be harder to conquer. Metastatic brain cancer treatments may include surgery, radiation, dietary changes, and chemotherapy. Depending on the time of onset, certain measures may be taken in order to save the life. This disease oftentimes shows up in children under the age of 10 and is very destructive. The cause is not always identifiable thus specific treatment is not available. When first diagnosed with this disease a person should get a second opinion as well as fully research the treatment options.
Identifying the cause is possible and almost completely depends on the inquisitiveness of the patient, the knowledge of the doctor, and the circumstances of the situation. In some cases even the most inquisitive educated team cannot find an answer. This is due to the overwhelming complexity of the human body. Early symptoms of brain cancer may be a result of aggressive lung or breast cancer, melanoma, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, certain sarcomas, testicular and germ cell tumors. Other less frequent types of cancer that end up in the brain include colon cancer or prostrate cancer. A person may experience pressure in the head that feels differently than a headache, morning vomiting, nausea, behavior changes including mood swings, loss of memory, judgment problems, seizures, reduced alertness, vision problems, hearing loss, weakness anywhere in the body including clumsiness, speech problems, fever, and bad posture. Though these symptoms may identify other health problems, early symptoms of brain cancer are probably the most important to investigate. Children under the age of 2 may experience an enlargement of the head, separated sutures, Opisthotonos, and no red reflex in the eye. In addition, some people may experience tongue problems, swallowing difficulty, problems with the sense of smell, obesity, uncomfortable movement, absent menstruation, hiccups, hand tremor, facial paralysis, and breathing problems.
There are four types of brains tumors every case falls under: located in only a small area, invasive, benign, and malignant. Invasive is when the cancerous cells have invaded nearby areas, but have not spread throughout the body. The difference between malignant and invasive is very important when diagnosis is made. Understanding the chance of survival in any diagnosis will enable the doctor as well as the patient to make the most appropriate decisions concerning treatment options. If the disease is malignant in nature then a hard decision for non-treatment may be explored in order to make the life a person has left most enjoyable rather than fill it will chemotherapy trips and radiation side effects that may not work. Hospice is an organization honoring these wishes and should be explored if this is the chosen path for the patient. Understanding the consequences of non-treatment versus metastatic brain cancer treatments. Talking with other people who have experienced similar diagnosis and talking about their chosen treatment path may additionally aid in the confidence of a final decision. In addition to the four types of general brain tumors, there are 4 types of childhood tumors: Astrocytomas, brain stem gliomas, Ependymomas, and Medulloblastomas. All of these forms of the disease occur before the age of 10. Many high-tech tests are available in order to identify whether a tumor exists, where it has spread to, and what type it is. From this information a plan for metastatic brain cancer treatments may be accurately developed. Personal research will empower the patient with enough information to ask the right questions and understand if the doctor missed something. This is crucial toward the satisfaction and confidence of any treatment plan.
Coping with adverse physical feelings before and after the discovery of the cause may prove to be the hardest part of the journey. Having the strength to competently discuss (or argue) with doctors may not always be an option. Building proper support within a group of family and friends may lead to the best defense against this disease. These people may not even be more educated than the patient, but they can offer the love and support for the quality of life of the patient that is required for survival. Additionally, the more people researching, reading, and thinking about how a cancer developed, newest treatment options, and offer the highest level of love and support for the patient. Research has shown that positive thinking as well as prayer in itself can cure many diseases. If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and [be] not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, [and] which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; (Corinthians 1:23) Other medications that may help control early symptoms of brain cancer may include corticosteroids, diuretics, anti-convulsants, and pain medications. These medications help to reduce brain swelling, seizures, and pain. Because the metastatic brain cancer treatments as well as the effects of the disease itself hinder the functioning of the brain, therapy may be needed to regain or sustain everyday functioning. If symptoms of the disease or not caught early enough or are too aggressive for adequate treatment brain herniation, serious neurological problems, inability to function socially as well as the tumor returning and side effects to treatments may occur. In these instances, the same survival procedure must take place to combat the new battle. With the right support and the doctors a persons chances are greatly increased for survival.
