My cancer has moved to the brain. what can we expect next and what is the life expectancy?

Unable to predict: Any tumor spreading to the brain is not a good sign, but it is not possible to provide a time line of events. Tumors and individuals all vary and make it impossible to predict behavior of any given case.
