Hi there

Yes there is usually a MRI towards the end of chemo to see what the response to it from chemo has been. Good luck - hopefully it has done its job.

Best wishes

Dane

Hi I think on my second last chemo had MRI and Mammo... maybe ask them why you are not having an MRI - I am no expert

Well done on finishing chemo
