Her2 Negative and Brain Met?

fifthyear · January 2013

Not sure where to post this, but would like to know how likely for someone to develop brain met with her2neg?

That's a very broad question. Is there something more specific you are trying to ask with regard to developing brain mets?

Thanks exbrnxgrl. I was at a local support group, most people in the group are her2 neg (including myself). A member of the group made the statement that it is very unlikely for her2neg to have brain met. This statement caused some heated comments. I don't think that is true, but thought if I ask the question on this board, someone will have the answer. Afterall, this is an amazing community!.

Here's a place to start. I don't think it's as simple as being her2-, as triple negatives seem at a higher risk for brain mets. Nothing about bc is simple!
