Having Metastatic Breast Cancer, Spread To Bones And Brain. Having Vomiting, Acid Reflux. Reason?
My mother has metastatic breast cancer that has affected her bones and some part of her brain. Her liver sonograms looked ok but, her liver functions on her blood report are abnormal (besides her bile is in range). SHe had been vomiting and acid reflux frequently but, by reducing her medicine dosages have helped. I wanted to find out what is going on with her.

Hi,
She has got metastatic breast cancer. Brain mets can be a cause of vomiting, Metastatic lesion in liver can be picked up by sonogram many a time, but there is a chance of missing it also. Anyway, there is treatment of metastatic breast cancer, at this condition, whole brain radiotherapy and hormonal therapy depending on receptor status can be beneficial, consult your oncologist.
