Carolyn,
Your data are a little skimpy. For the oncologest to make an informed decision, the aggressiveness of the cancer, size of cancer(s), site of cancer, and all relevant info are needed. Of course, the HER2 quantitative info is also a part of the puzzle. From all these, the onc, based on his or her experience, may suggest brain MRI. Some doctors do not support an initial baseline brain scan.
Best luck.
