Hi Lindyjo, sounds like we have the same onc. I'm stage 2 though. I guess their theory is if you don't have any symptoms and no elevation of markers in blood work, usually they won't find anything on scans. Many on this board are pushing for regular brain MRI as Herceptin doesn't protect your brain. I don't know the answer. I would think if the lack of scanning is causing you emotional distress, they should agree to do it to give you relief. Still have toenails, but I do recall someone else mentioning their loss. Good luck on your treatment. Bev
