Steroids for brain mets - what to expect

My Dad was diagnosed with lung, pancreatic and liver cancer last February, last Tuesday he had a seizure and the scan showed he now has brain mets. He is currently taking steroids to reduce the swelling. I just want to know if anyone knows what will happen once he stops taking them in 2 weeks time.

Thanks
