Hi
thank you for trusting HCM
I read your query and understand your concern
Unfortunately patient with brain metastatic tumors suffers all the symptoms provoked by the localization of metastasis
The symptoms your father is suffering seems to be provoked by multiple brain metastasis
Chorticosteroids may help for some improvement
It kind be predicted long term prognosis but it seems your father is in a difficult situation
Hope I have been of help
Stay healthy
