Thank you for your reply.  He is beginning to share a bit more.  He is 69 and I am the youngest (and geograph closest) son.  He went for treatments today and they refused him because the white count was too low.  The "brain events" are what worries me.  He said the lower part of his jaw and chin were numb today.  the nurse attributes it to the treatments.  He regurlarly has "fainting spells" and they sometimes involve slurred speach and trouble keeping his balance.  The oncologist today did not comment on the MRI and deffered to the neurologist (that he does not see till 8/5).  I just can't shake this gut feeling that it has moved into his brain.  He already has mets in lungs and pancreas.  The brain mets would be just insult to injury.  I hate to be all doom and gloom, but i am detecting a turn for the worst in his health and spirits.  My poor mom has this and her mom in a nursing home (alzheimers).  I have  2yr and 10 month daughters.  The whole cycle of life is unfolding at one time. 

I just wonder if the symptoms I am describing sound like anyone's experience whith rcc mets to the brain?
