| Although I have not had brain mets nor don't plan on it, blurry vision, headaches (especially at the temples and front), coordination problems, weakness on one side of the body or in a limb.  All very much like a stroke.  However, there can also be no symptoms until things get very bad.  That is why this site recommends brain MRIs every 6 months for gals with mets and at least once a year for all others.
 
 I just got my yearly brain MRI due to this fact on Feb 20.  It doesn't take much time.  I didn't have a problem with my onc ordering it even though I am only Stage 2A.  I am still on my year of Herceptin (ending in mid June).
 
 A scan is the only sure way.
 
 Best regards
