Hi Debbie,
When I first got b cancer in 2003 I didn't have any body scans.My lymph nodes(18!)were all clear so didn't have chemo either.However,with the recurrence last year,I got the full works! It also depends on your pathology too.If it's hercepton +ve then you might have to.Mine wasn't -it was estrogen+ve and that is more favourable.
Anyway,I'm sure your doc. will advise you.I've come to realize that if you REALLY need a test or treatment or drugs they will insist you have it.If they say it's your choice then it's probably not that necessary but they are covering themselves and also giving you choice.Some people want the full works regardless.
Luv Tonya xx
