How often does lung cancer spread to the brain?

Cancer can spread sometimes very quick. I have known numerous cancer patients with lung cancer that it had spread to the brain. There is really no right answer on how fast this can happen. Depends on the individual.  http://doctorfinders.com/medically-inoperable-lung-cancer.ph

I have had the same question as I think my growing cognitive disfunction is frightening. I have stage 3BPLUERAL infusion which is called "stable" I am on maintainence altima and avastin(3 0onths - interupted by mouth sores and colds.) I get contrast whole body MRIs including head. The radiologists reports are most unhelpful. The original one refered to normal fir my age infarcs. Dr just says nothing shows-- that confusion is from chemo. I don't know how they tell --but--when Ihave a headache, they seem to order them more often.?????karen GoodLuck!!!
