Dear Lindyjo:
My onc did decide to scan after I finished treatment and I am now the poster girl for false positives, and know why so many oncs DON'T scan. Twice I was told that something had likely spread to my lungs, and that a lung biopsy was upcoming. And twice, further scans then showed NED. So, besides the cost and time of the scans, needless to say, the emotional wear and tear was intense. So, I'm in the follow up with blood work and symptoms camp now. There are others who really like scans, but my experience has been that radiologists don't really know what they're looking at. Maybe if you could request a certain radiologist, it would be better. Anyway -- that's my two cents.
Best
Linda
