I did read in an article that bone mets are more frequent in ER+, and viscera mets are more frequent in ER-. If you are worried about radiation, at least an ultrasound of the abdomen could be reassuring, with a yearly chest x-ray?

One possible approach you might undertake with your oncologist, is to simply ask why no scanning? You might mention that from what you've read there are frequently no symptoms for liver or lung mets, and you were just wondering how he planned to treat these as soon as possible, if they go undetected?


Wishing you all the best
Kind regards,
