A question....

Hi everyone,

I have a question for you all. When I last met with my radiation oncologist for a check up we talked about cancer recurrence and where it most likely occured first. I told him my greatest fear was cancer spreading to my brain and knew that her2 positive breast cancers like to go to the brain. He told me that for me to have a recurrence in my brain first was very unlikely. He preceded to tell me how breast cancer typically recurs and stated that it almost always goes somewhere else BEFORE it goes to the brain.

I don't really know for those of you who have brain mets if it went their first or not. I'm just curious if any of you who were diagnosed with brain mets as a recurrence had the recurrence their first and not someplace else in your body.

Thank you and so glad you are all here to ask these questions too.

Love & Peace,

Mary Jo
