In my case, even with neg nodes, I asked for a brain CT after I read all the posts of women who responded to this same question several months ago. Being HER2 positive was enough of a reason for me. I know many docs won't do this because they feel it's unecessary for early Stage bc. From the looks of your info, you had a large tumor? I feel that a baseline scan is good insurance.
We all get bone scans--- Why not brain scan? I can see the silliness in getting 3 different types of scans of the brain if you have no symptoms, but a baseline of somekind certainly can't hurt.
