Hi Cynthia ! I do understand your concern. She might be having a small focus of residual cancer not noticeable in the MRI, which gave rise to metastases in the brain. As you are related to her, it is natural to be frightened. I would advise you to get control over your emotions, and at the same time consult your doctor for a screening mammogram for you and the time period of further follow ups.
Wishing you all the best.
