Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My mother is 56 years old and has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. I am concerned about the possibility of metastasis. One of my distant aunts had uterine cancer. Given this situation and our family's health history, could you explain more about the risk factors and signs of metastasis? I want to understand what to look out for and how we can support her during this challenging time. Additionally, are there preventive measures or lifestyle changes that might help reduce the risk of metastasis in breast cancer cases? Please advise.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.
Risk factors for metastasis in breast cancer include an advanced stage at diagnosis, larger tumor size, lymph node involvement, and specific molecular features. Signs may include persistent pain, unexplained weight loss, or neurological symptoms. Support your mother by ensuring she follows her treatment plan, attends regular check-ups, and maintains a healthy lifestyle. Encourage emotional well-being and open communication. Preventive measures focus on early detection through regular screenings. Lifestyle changes like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking may contribute to overall health but will not guarantee the prevention of metastasis.
I hope this will help you.
Thank you.
