I am also interested in the brain MRI for early stage with no lymph node involvement, and clear scans otherwise - bone, ultrasounds of liver,vaginal ultrasound, complete bloodwork. I had a CAT scan of the brain - all clear. I am just going to start my chemo next week - I am being treated in Toronto Canada, my onc. is recommending FEC - T - 3 rounds ( once every 3 weeks) of the FEC, then 3 rounds of the - Taxotere also once every 3 weeks. Then Herceptin once every 3 weeks - 17 rounds.
Tamoxifen because I am still premenopausal.

I have not asked him for a brain MRI, but I have read about the Herceptin not crossing the BBB - any advice would be appreciated.
