my daughter was thought to have pneomonia back in sept. after several courses of antibiotics and ct scans they found a spot on both lungs that was growing and the pet scan showed a spot on the brain. lung biopsy was inconclusive. Dr.s beginning thought before biopsy was bacterial infection. Is it likely something like this would go to the brain

Hope this clears your query.
