Shiiit.
No possibility of radiotherapy, then? Or would that damage too much healthy tissue?

It's really difficult in the brain
my other half does this and the really hard part of the job is stopping the radiation affecting the body away from the tumour. Normally it's to prevent the risk of causing cancer in the long term, but even as a palliative thing to administer enough of a dose to have an impact on the brain tumour you risk frying the healthy brain tissue. It is an absolute fucking bastard.

He's had one dose early on but they may try again as there's fuck all to lose now.

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought.
Best of luck if he gives it another go. (And if he decides not to.)
