Suggest Chance Of Survival With Brain Cancer

my dad had lung cancer, had lung removed in April 1 2011- had scan done last week, found 3 tumors in his brain. Brain is swollen .They stopped chemo when they found out about brain cancer and started radiation to reduce the swelling. The cancer dr said not operable or cureable. Typically how long does one have to live after receiving this news? Thank you.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has lung cancer with brain metastasis. It is stage 4 cancer. Surgery is not possible at this stage. Only treatment options is radiotherapy according to type of cancer.
Despite of all treatment prognosis is poor. Life expectancy is not good.
Sorry to say but it is the fact.
Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
