Hi Karen,
Like Steph, I too have experienced brain mets. Originally diagnosed in 1997, mets to liver in 2001(treated with chemo and surgery), and mets to brain this past July. I had Gamma Knife in August and will be doing follow up MRI next week. I did not have any symptoms either, but had been doing annual MRIs and that is how we found it. I was prepared mentally, that this would probably happen, so I was ready to do battle as soon as we got the news.
Please visit this site often, as there is soooo much to be learned about our type of cancer from the many pioneers who post here.
Also, forgot to mention, I have been on Herceptin continuously since recurrence in 2001.
Best Regards and welcome to the board!
