Are Vision Issues And Left-sided Pressure In The Brain Symptoms Of Cancer?
I have visual issues and MY voice gets weak and raspy. feel a little pressure on left side of the brain. Would this be symptoms of brain cancer? My last eye appointment the doctor said I had cataract. I m wondering if this is correct. I had breast cancer in 2008, left breast mastectomy.

Thank you for consulting us.
1. Cataract may be the cause of poor vision in the left eye so get it checked first
2. The symptoms in the brain may also cause poor side. So get CT scan of the brain to rule of space occupying lesion in the brain
3. The previous history of breast cancer is very significant and this may have moved to the brain. CT scan will still give the diagnosis
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
