"Nearly all patients developed parenchymal brain disease."I couldn't get to the article either, what does it mean?

My onc scared me the other day when I asked him how long he thought I might have a break from chemo and he guessed maybe 1-2 years. I then asked about the brain - and he said it could happen at next recurrance or not. I asked him if there was anything we could do to help - he said pray.... My heart just sunk. Sorry to say this, but I don't believe God can heal my cancer - only my heart. It's a LONG story... But none the less, it REALLY scared me.
