Brain Metastasis

After five years of taking Tarissa for his EGFR with bone metastasis lung cancer, the doctor found progression to the brain.  They are recommending brain radiation for him.  What is the prognosis for someone to have progression to the brain?  Is brain radiation a good recommendation?   My understanding is that there will be permanent damage to the brain with brain radiation.

Thank you.
