Chris,
Hi. Thank you so much for keeping us informed! I do have one question-
Should MRI's of the brain be routinely performed on early stage with no hx of mets, or everyone who is Her2? I am finding it very hard to get the routine marker and CTs and don't think I'll have much luck talking my onc. into that one. He is a wonderful onc., and I am very happy otherwise. Just was wondering if problems usually present initially in the brain, or later with other mets.
Thank you,
Love,
Kelly
