Sometimes I would see a very brief flash of red gold colors in the left upper part of my vision. Lasted for seconds and was very intermittent. Then I had 3 episodes of very brief double vision followed by a headache that turned out to be a migraine. ( I have a long history of migraines and have had visual changes with my migraines for several years. )

No one thought we would find anything but I asked for an MRI because I am her 2 positive and my last mri was a year ago.

Low and behold I have 3 very small ( 1 mm, 2mm, and 4 mm ) brain mets in areas that have absolutely nothing to do with vision. I basically have no symptoms related to these brain mets.

I think it is a really good idea to get routine brain mri's for women who are her 2 positive because we are at increased risk. There is no downside to an mri.

My sister has brain mets (2nd time). First time she had the stereotatic radiosurgery and this time she will be treated with temodar.
How will your brain mets be treated?

I had stereotactic radiosurgery yesterday. Can your sister's new lesions be treated with another round of radiosurgery?

Yes her onc said that after 2 months on the temodar, she will have another MRI and if things have progressed she can do the SRS again.
