I had gotten my brain MRI on 10/3 and it said I had a 1.2 cm by 2 cm tumor. It was in the same area where I was treated with gamma knife one year ago for a 5mm brain met. So I was sent on for additional testing- a brain PET and a brain MRI w/ perfusion. Both tests said it is just scar tissue. I have been NED else where in the body for over five years but these pesty brain mets like to pop up (3 times). I do take Femara and Herceptin every three weeks. I am her2+++. I can breathe again and enjoy our family.
