I've read this board for some months now and have seen alot of info on everything, which has helped me know my condition and meds better. Lately there has been alot of talk about what kinds of scans need to be done and when. So from my point of view, being new, I am on trial w/Herceptin til Dec. What kind of scans should I be asking for and when? MUGA scans are done routinely, my gastro dr. wants me to have a colonoscopy yearly since he said I am at a higher risk since I had BC. We should ask for Brain MRI's yearly and is there anything else? I know that there is discussion now on MET's but when, if I choose to have one should I have it done? They say I am NED now, but after the Herceptin is gone what should I really be watching for? I know pain and skin rashes, but some folks I talked to didn't feel any pain and had METs. Any time line would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Take care. Kristen
