Hi Jennifer,
I have MRI's done every 6 months by my neurologist. Previous to BC, I had headaches and so she wants to keep a close eye on me. And God love her, I let her. She is also very sympathetic to what peace of mind can do for a patient.
With 30% of mets patients and I can't recall the % from the above post for brain mets for er/pr- patients, I would see if your onc will do it for you. As these ladies here who are fighting these mets, they will be the first to tell you how sneaky they are. Some have symptoms, but most don't. So many have found them by accident or by simply asking for an MRI.
It's good that you are staying on top of it and you do what you feel is right for you.
