Hello and welcome; I just want to say there have been several on this site who've had Whole Brain Radiation for multiple mets. Hoping by bringing your thread to the top they will see it.

I think some of the small molecule chemo's cross the blood-brain barrier; Xeloda and Temodor are two that come to mind. Perhaps you and your mom can find out if chemo after rads is an option, to help prevent recurrence.

Ask how many mets and what size, as if they're not too large and not too numerous, could possibly be treated with a targeted radio-surgery such as Cyberknife.
