I am Stage 2A and I just got my first one on Monday. I will finish adjuvant Herceptin in June. My husband thinks I should push for a brain MRI every 6 months.

We really don't know how the whole body will be affected by adjuvant Herceptin because it is so new. It may be that it prevents metastises in the body but since it doesn't cross the blood/brain barrier, we may also be vunerable to mets to the brain.

I would push for one at least once a year.

Best regards

Becky
