Honestly Jean, I don't think you need a brain scan. You're very likely cured. You didn't mention any symptoms, so I assume that you're thinking about a brain MRI for peace of mind.

I think that these scans can borrow trouble-- there are so many times when people get inconclusive results, or find out that they have some benign thingy that the doctors won't do anything about, but becomes a source of worry. Plus you have to put yourself through the agony of getting the scan, then waiting for the results.

Brain scans are not like mammos, where a baseline is helpful. Unless you are going to get brain scans on a regular mammo-like schedule, I don't get the argument that a baseline is necessary.

Just my two cents-- we're both about on the same schedule-- I was diagnosed in April of 2005-- almost 2.5 years out.

Moving on and beginning to believe that things are okay is very difficult.

My best,
Jen
