Hi Lisa,

I am a little reluctant to post much about this as I too think MRI is important for some to have, even without symptoms, and sometimes not even on a one-time basis but regularly.

But at the same time, in reading posts about this topic I see that often the information about each person's situation is vague. If most bc patients are now being diagnosed as early stage, then it makes some sense that probably a large number of people here are early stage. The discussion about the need for MRI's for HER2's has been very generalized. I do think there needs to be a post about this that is specific to early stage, so that the difference isn't just assumed to be understood.

Thanks for your patient response, Lisa.
