There is not really an "official" timeline. Most of us who have them, do so during our regular scans. For me, and others, it is quarterly. When my onc orders CT body scans, he also now orders a brain MRI since I requested it rather than CT (more sensitive). My CT brain scan in March was clear. By June my MRI showed one 5mm tumor. One month later, there were 7 definites and many more possibles. Remember that if you're Her2+++, you have an aggressive cancer. I, like others on this site, had no symptoms. At least 1/3 of all Stage IV bc survivors will get brain mets. That number seems to be rising since we're living longer. Go figure! So do insist on brain MRIs regularly.
Love and light,
Lisa
