Cathcarter,
Brain mets post caught my eye, I have a relative dx last yr with HER2++, pr/er neg. bc, she underwent mastect/radiation/chemo to have it then return in her brain and spine, she has multiple mets in her brain, she underwent wbr and is on herceptin, xeloda and some other meds. She is also taking decadron to reduce swelling from the mets and to help control seizures. She has progressive neurological problems started from having double vision and also walking problems. She underwent a spinal tap and was diagnosed with what is called leptomeningeal cancer also called carcinomatous meningitis, it is when the cancer gets into the meningeal covering in the brain and spinal cord areas causing neurological dysfunctions.
One poster said to have another MRI of the brain done just to do a recheck , this might be a very good idea, make sure your dr stays on top of things.
