You are not alone, WE NEED EACH OTHER
Marejo
Some Onc's believe no scans until symptoms; and others are more aggressive. I don't know your dx, etc., but if you are not comfortable with her procedures, you can ask her for the simple blood test called the her2serum test every few months to monitor your progress. There are tests that are called cancer markers, but not all Oncs like to do them because they are not reliable all the time, But can help the oncologist as a monitoring tool. Ask your oncologist to reconsider giving you the her2serm test by Bayer. I do feel it is a worthwhile test if used properly to indicate remission during chemo and ALSO progression afterwards. Well wishes
Hugs,Christine
