Brain MRI
Cher
It has come to our attention that at a more advanced stage or long time Breast CA pt, even if we have no real symtoms, should be monitored for brain metastases by MRI, esprcially those who have high grade tumors or a her2+, Stage 3 or 4 pt. Also from my personal observation, sometimes mets to the brain can easily migrate to the brain fom lung mets and/or lymph nodes under the sternum or under left collor-bone. Headaches are not the only sysmptoms we all have at times, but telling yor onc about it may prompt the Onc to rule out brain mets. I had Vertigo,asap, dizziness, and dxed in 1999. Women really need to be proactive in making decisions about their Dx and Tx's.
Be well....
Hugs. Christine
