Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Treatment and prognosis depends on type of cancer.
Your baby has kidney cancer with metastasis in brain so it suggest poor prognosis irrespective of type. Complete removal of cancer cells from body is the keyIin treatment. Prognosis and life expectancy also depends on grade, stage and other co morbid condition and overall health status. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
