I think what I posted was that if one hadn't had brain mets within 5 years of initial diagnosis, one was unlikely to develop them.

This is only one of several articles which finds that her2+ breast cancer patients who are ER- are more likely to develop brain mets than those that are ER+

Hope this helps!
