Re: the REALLY REALLY good news and the bad news (her2 stats outside clinical trials)
Marsha,
Why not? If it provides peace of mind an MRI every few years or so, provided your Onc. authorizes it, may quiet those "nagging voices" in your head. If your insurance bulks just start complaining of a headache or migraine. They'll bounce a few sound waves off your noodle in a hurry, believe me. I had a migraine that lasted for nearly a year. They bounced my head found it to be a migraine and tried to get me to take anti-depressives. I opted for coconut oil instead which worked! Ha! Good luck with the anniversary scans next month!
