Very sorry to hear this. It's impossible to tell - each and every cancer is different. While spreading to the brain doesn't guarantee metastasis to other organs, it is certainly possible. Hopefully between the chemo and radiation, it will be contained. Definitely follow up with your doctor!

A lot of brain cancers are metastasis from either the lung or the liver. Common secondary cancers. Generally when they find a brain cancer, they will look for a primary in one of these two locations. What was type of brain tumor? Hang in there and beat this thing.

I'm praying for you and your family. Let your wife know there are people that understand how hard it is for her to and it's OK to take a little time for herself once in a while to regroup. If you continue on answer's you can be a great encouragement for some people.

I am so sorry. My husband had lung cancer with a tumor on the spine and on the brain. They did radiation on the spine and a gamma knife procedure on the brain You should ask about that procedure. He also took a drug called tarceva ( it is very expensive but it has had good results. Good luck to you.
