I've never pushed for one @arpie. The professor I saw last week is also of the opinion that they can send you down the rabbit holes of unecessary worry, stress, biopsies and investigations. I've never been entitled to a subsidised one and so the cost is a big issue for me as well. All our savings are gone due to my breast cancer, there's no buffer anymore.
I'm focussing on survivorship, and with a colonoscopy coming up and the possibility of a problem being found (because of my multiple risk factors), it's something I may yet need.
I'll always be slightly uneasy, but I have to trust my doctors and move on. I've done everything possible treatment wise, to reduce the likelihood of a recurrence or new BC. I plod on.
