Metastatic de novo diagnosed 20 July

Thank you for sharing that @gumnut.  If you don’t mind me asking, were you diagnosed de novo or did the metastasis develop later.  It is very confusing when the doctors give you conflicting advice.  My surgeon suggests doing a bone scan and CT every year while the oncologist says you don’t need yearly scans because you will have symptoms such as bone pain if the metastasis is in the bones.  Your experience has been different, you had metastasis without pain.  I am quite confused which way to go.
