Thanks Chrissy for sharing your onc's views. MRI screenings is something I am still on the fence with. Being Stage ! with no node involvement makes me somewhat agree with my onc who isn't in favor of routine brain MRIs but then on the other hand, there are so many who were early stagers who jumped to higher Stages so quickly and who had brain mets, which yes, is often where this cancer likes to metastisize. I am at a loss here. Think I will have a nice to the point discussion with my highly regarded onc about brain MRIs again. I guess we could say the same about other screenings and their importance too.
