What Are The Chances Of Survival With Metastasized Cancer In Brain?
My wife haws stage 3 non small cell cancer. She was treated with radiation and chemo and we were told she was in complete remission. 2 weeks later after a cat scan it was found the cancer has metastasized to her brain. What are her chances of surviving after radiation on this. Any thoughts? Where can I find more answers to my concerns? Thanks

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really sorry for your wife's health issue, and appreciate your concern, even if it is metastatic phase and that does not catch the vital area, and your wife is asymptomatic then I would advise you to just forget it, because metastatic process not always be dangerous, this could halt at certain level without causing any clinical symptoms and that would be the starting of natural remission, lets hope for the good, take care of her, have good life.
