Hi Julie and thanks for your post

I am sorry to hear about your partner and the treatment he needs to have.

To get a better idea about what is going on with your partner and the aims of the treatment you need to speak with the specialist team involved.

However from what I am aware a dose of stereotactic radiotherapy after a parietal craniotomy can be an effective treatment for managing brain metastases from renal cell carcinomas.

I hope this helps but do speak with your partner and his doctor to get more information about his situation.

Best wishes

Naomi
