@Eastmum - it's really interesting that your scans were pitched as routine for you. as @kezmusc says, drs all have different opinions! like you, i would like to have the scans so that i can be looking at things from an informed point of view. Re. the MRIs - i have an expander too so this will probably rule me out for MRI until it's removed (although this wasn't the reason my surgeon advised against it). i had wondered about this so thanks for clarifying.
i hope things are going well with chemo for you @Eastmum xx
