My mother received WBRT last November and radiosurgery in December. Now she is experiencing symptoms (nausea, cognitive problems, fatigue) that resemble the problems she had when the brain mets were first diagnosed. I'm hoping that this is a subacute reaction due to myelin depletion and swelling, but the doctors haven't been very helpful in explaining what is going on or whether we can expect improvement. She is on Decadron, and we don't know when or if she'll be able to get off of it. I wish I could help, but I'm as confused as you are.
