Seeking Support After Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Seizures

Hey friends, I'm reaching out because I'm feeling pretty scared and overwhelmed. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022 and have been going through treatment since then. I've had two seizures in the past two weeks, and my doctor suspects that they might be related to breast cancer spreading to my brain (brain metastases). The first one occurred while I was at home, and I lost consciousness for a few minutes. I was confused and disoriented when I came to, and I had a severe headache. The second seizure happened a week later, and it was more intense. I was at the hospital for a follow-up appointment, and I suddenly felt a strange sensation, like my body was stiffening. I lost control of my muscles, and I was shaking uncontrollably. The hospital staff acted quickly, and I was given emergency treatment.. I'm trying to prepare myself for what might come next, and I was hoping to connect with anyone who has gone through something similar.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 52. Unfortunately, it metastasized to my brain a year later. The symptoms were scary. I had memory loss, confusion, and seizures. But my oncologist caught it early, and we started treatment right away. The radiation therapy and meds have helped manage my symptoms, and I'm grateful for that. If you're experiencing anything similar, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare team. šŸ™
