Hugs to you! I am sorry to hear about the bone mets. I hope the Navelbine knocks those mets back and fast.

I had to respond to the thought of Brain MRI and timing.
My oncologist insists that all of his Her2+ stage 4 patients have a Brain MRI every 6 months. I am thankful my brain mets were caught early in a routine Brain MRI. This enabled me to have Stereotactic Radiosurgery.

In my opinion all stage 4 Her2+ should get the Brain MRI every 6 months.
It can make the difference in treatment when caught early.
