"The treatment of brain metastases depends on many factors, such as the tumor of origin, the number and location of lesions within the brain and the extent of cancer in places other than the brain.

Surgery: If there is only one tumor and the patient's overall condition is good, surgical removal of the metastasis may be attempted, although location, duration and metastases should be considered

Gamma knife: This is a type of radiation treatment delivered by a machine that focuses multiple radiation beams directly at the involved area.

Radiation therapy: In patients with more than one brain metastasis, surgery is not usually an option and radiation is delivered to the entire brain"

first of all it came from somewhere else so they need to find it. My husband had tumors in his brain that came from lung cancer. They were treated with whole brain radiation, gamma knife, and craniotomy surgery. He lost his fight though because in the end there was nothing they could do.I do know someone who has brain tumors and has lived a long time with them. It depends on where they are in the brain. I will pray for your Mom.
