Scan or not to Scan - Post treatment

@Shakalker this is a good point but one my Oncologist answered to me also straight from treatment. Upon completion it is natural and normal for everyone to want to know if their body is all clear. The reality is though? the scans wouldnt show anything generally, most BC is slow growing, I think the earliest he'd do one for me was at 6 months. It makes alot of sense, the other thing he mentioned is unfortunately we are not advanced at all...that we are only as good as detecting it once it is there :/ we still haven't got a foot in front of it. I too am ER+ and was Grade 3 no LN involvement, I too had 4 rounds of FEC and I had 8 rounds of Taxol. He did say if I had any complaints they would definitely do scans and investigate but that would be the only time. As Id had a recurrence already 4yrs after the initial in same spot, I had a mastectomy/diep flap recon. He said he wasnt monitoring me for BC anymore but rather a secondary...you could IMAGINE how taken back I was. For someone who bounces into his appointments as of this year its yearly not 6 monthly, going into 4 years clear! that doesnt even cross my mind! I'm focused on moving forward! lol x
