I have asked 2 oncologist and no way will they give me one unless I have symptoms. I also asked them at Dana Farber in Boston a huge research center that my hospital is plugged into and they said the same. They also said it doesn't matter how soon you find the mets because if they show on an MRI then symptoms will appear within 2 or 4 days anyway as there is not much room for swelling. I have not pushed this issue however, if I really wanted one I would have to lie and say I was having symptoms. I don't know what to say about having MRI's on the brain. I have had one its been a couple of years now and they said that is o.k. for a base line. I was having neck problems when I had it done. You have to do what you are comfortable with. Hugs, Sandy
