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...
A full blood count just refers to haemaglobin, white cells and platelets.Bio or tumour markers are a good idea to check but aren't always accurate.Liver function blood test is important to do if you are on Tamoxifen.Also have a pelvic ultrasound if on this drug too.I just ask my gp to order these yearly for me.It seems many oncologists are reluctant to order these routine tests.Mine told me it just causes anxiety!I'd rather be proactive and pick things up early.
