It depends: On the cancer type and other metastasis. Generally, advanced cancers do not do well, but some people do well after a brain met is removed. By well, i mean better than with other metastasis. Lung cancer is a serious problem. Your doctor can help you understand more. Hope this helps.

Weeks to months: Usually survival is diminished but it is difficult to predict survival. Hope this helps.
