Hi @kezmusc I thought it was unusual too that I had no further scans. I thought it would have been standard procedure that if there was cancer in one area, surely it would make sense to check if it was present in other areas. Apparently not.
Also, as a side note, I was never given an official Stage. I got a grade but never a Stage. I asked about this at my first annual check up. I was told that it wasn't in my notes and they don't "do" Stages anymore. WTF? Everyone talks about Stage and Grade. How can this not be a thing anymore? So she told me probably Stage 1 but not to be concerned about that.
@kmakm I totally get the deer in the headlights feeling. I wonder now if my GP had given me a bit more of a heads up before I saw the surgeons whether I would have known to ask more. If the GP had said, at this appointment you'll likely be told about what scans you need, further blood tests, surgery options etc. Then maybe I would have been more prepared to speak up and say, why no scans?
