Brain MRIs for early stage....consensus??
Christine/Joe/others:
Given the article posted about brain mets being twice as common (my math in the small study was that it was 2.5x as common) in her2 cancers, should those of us that are "early stage" (so my onc keeps telling me, even though I'm stage 3C) who have never had mets be pushing for brain MRIs in absence of symptoms?
