Scans after Treatment
Just wondering if others have been offered Scans after finishing treatment. I thought I would have them on a yearly basis to check on things...but after speaking to my medical and radiation oncologis...

I have the same tests as the other ladies have mentioned above, blood tests every 6 months now, and yearly mammogram, ultrasound and chest XRay. I ask for a copy of all of my tests, this way I can keep an eye on them as ask questions if there is any change.
I have a copy go to my GP, go and see her before my Onco visit.
Had I been proactive like this prior to diagnosis and got copies I would have had my cancer picked up earlier. A mammogram 6 months prior gave me the all clear, but the actual letter said breast tissue too dense to give accurate result, breast full of cysts etc. Had I had a diagnostic mammogram and not the regular mammogram it would have been picked up then. All a very wrong.
Do what makes you feel settled.
One thing I have learnt is to take charge, it is your body and your health and your choice.
