Hey @"Concerned daughter" what the Specialists are saying is actually correct. I've had it twice now and my last one in 2015, post treatment was bouncing between Surgeon and Oncologist every 3 months even now. They don't do further scans as they aren't useful, they don't tell you if treatment worked or not as we have no tests that actually detect anything until you've actually got Cancer. So they go back to yearly scans and only more than that if you feel there is something wrong. So she is being monitored closely as am I. Unless she feels extremely unwell that something is different to usual there isnt any tests to do. Seems odd I know, I didnt get it at first, I thought too Id be scanned constantly, but nope. So be guided by them, slowly but surely xx Melinda
