Re your scan Q - I had surgery, chemo then rads and then they wanted to send me on my Merry way with no scans. I had a bit of a disagreement with my oncologist about this and am now having bone and ct scan next week, though she’s not happy about it.
My understanding in WA is that you no longer get scans after treatment finishes, just a yearly mammogram or on scans if you feel symptoms or a lump. Given I had no symptoms and didn’t feel a lump in the first place that wasn’t much comfort for me. I insisted on the scans since I haven’t had any since before surgery, and I want some reassurance that the surgery/chemo/rads all worked!
