She is in stage IV, it has spread to her bones. Have you ever heard of it spreading to your brain, and if so what are some of the signs? She is beginning to forget alot of things and is doing quite a few weird things also. We are not sure if it is her nerves or if it has spread to her brain. Any information about this type of cancer would be greatfully appreciated. Thank you in advance, Renee Renee_jerry Wed, 20 Apr 2005 00:00:00 GMT Hi. I read your message about Hodgkin's and the possibility of it spreading to the brain. When I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's stage IIA in December, I was told that Hodgkin's could not spread to the brain. It basically spreads in an orderly fashion through the lymphatic system and in late stages, into the bone marrow, spleen, kidneys, etc. But, even in late stages it still has a potentially high cure rate.
