"I can't begin to tell you how much hope you've given me today."

"Helps take some of the fear away. It's very easy to understand and does not scare you to death."



Learning breast cancer has spread to the brain is always frightening. But patients and families may not realize that some women live for years after getting brain metastases, with good quality of life.

BrainMetsBC.org is the first website developed just for breast cancer patients with brain and other central nervous system metastases.

At BrainMetsBC.org, patients and their families can find up-to-date information on symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, clinical trials and emerging research, medically reviewed by expert physicians and researchers. They also draw hope from the stories and experiences of nearly 30 other women who have walked in their shoes, helping breast cancer patients and their loved ones feel less alone with their fears.

For more information on BrainMetsBC.org, including information for the newly diagnosed, as well as the very latest on research and treatment, visit:

BrainMetsBC.org

BrainMetsBC.org was created by patient advocates Musa Mayer, Helen Schiff and Lilla Romeo, under the auspices of a Department of Defense-funded Center of Excellence research grant focusing on brain metastasis.
