I am very glad to hear your MRI was reassuring and I'm glad you chose to get one because you do feel strongly about it. We all have to figure out what fits each one of us in asking for testing.

I had my MRI too. My symptoms were headaches and occipital neuralgia (correctly diagnosed by my PCP), and mild disequilibrium that continued for over a month, so I did go in for the MRI, which came out fine. But I'm not convinced that brain MRI's for all symptomless early stage NED HER2's should be done.
