I’m wondering how common it is that there isn’t any symptoms of brain or liver mets? I know some women whose blood doesn’t show if their cancer is proceeding and therefore they demand scans at least once a year. Even so, Sheila described perfectly the situation how it is. For instance, my follow up protocol consist originally blood tests and mammogram 1, 3 and 5 year after the operation, but as a Stage IIIb I definitely need follow up more often!!! Therefore I demanded mammogram and blood tests every year but should I also ask brain scan or MRI, I keep wondering, knowing that the risk of brain mets is high. In one year follow up my mammogram was clear and CA 15-3 very low, all values (blood, liver and kidney) were excellent.

All the best!
