Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She has papillary carcinoma of thyroid and now metastatic deposits in brain. Radiotherapy can be given. But despite of treatment prognosis remains poor. Chances of long time survival are less. So plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
