Linn,

I wouldn't recommend the brain MRI unless you are experiencing symptoms.

I'm having a breast MRI in a couple days, but only because of symptoms that were similar to the Pagets in the other breast. I almost changed my mind yesterday - because of the chance of a false positive and a biopsy.

The detail on a MRI is so much greater than a mammogram. If you medical team finds anything they are obligated to do a biopsy. Are you ready to have a brain biopsy over a false positive MRI results?

You can't second guess your treatment plan now. You made a decision on the best information and advice available. Turn your focus from the past to the future. Exercise, fresh veggies and fruits, meditation, stress reduction and your Arimidex.

Lani's post said to prevent brain mets eat broccoli and brussell sprouts.

If you start to have headaches, poor balance, blurry vision. Don't wait - run to your oncologist and demand a brain MRI. Otherwise, don't open Pandora's box.
