Hi Ladies
My oncologist doesn't do any further scans etc now unless something presents itself. I finished chemo in August, had some scans in November after my surgery and now I will be alternating appointments between my oncologist and my breast surgeon. They share rooms so I can always pop in and see the other if I need too.
I agree with Liz, in one way tests can be reassuring but I don't know if the amount of stress I go through in the lead up to the tests and then the WAIT for results is worth it. There has been soooo much stress and anxiety this year I'm glad to have a break. Who knows how I will feel in 6-12 months, I might be feeling the need for that reassurance.
Go with your gut. If having tests gives you some peace of mind then that's what you need to do. Good idea taking your husband too, I know what you mean about being a push over - I am too.
Take care
