I assume your mother is on Decadron (dexamethasone) to reduce the brain swelling. How many mg. per day is she on and is she takig it regularly? Everyone's symptoms are different depending on where in the brain the mets are. My wife had trouble walking, was off balance, and had trouble using her legs but also has cognitive problems when the brain swelling is not under control with the Decadron (steroid). I have had to call the doctor to get the dose increased when the symptoms get worse.
