a really stupid thought

I mean this is a dumb question, but does it seem like people who have had good visceral success with Navelbine end up with brain mets? Is it just cause it can prolong survival and brain mets go along with some long-term survivors?

I've just noticed this trend a little and I am selfishly nervous about it-can you tell it is almost mri time?

I have had metstatic bc for possibly 6 years and so far all we find in my head is a tired mouse on a squeaky wheel.

Any thoughts?

Wow! What a question....made me stop and think. I had good success with Navelbine for liver mets and 2 years later developed a lesion in my cerebellum. But, the two may be completely unrelated......
