Brief Answer:
Hello dear. It is difficult to say.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have read the details. It is actually very difficult to predict the survival in a case of metastatic breast cancer to brain.
She has been adequately treated with chemo and radiation and there is nothing more to treat.
Average survival will vary from 2 to 6 month among different patients with similar conditions.
Thanks and regards
