I think it depends on your oncologist. I get PET/CT scans every 3 months and wouldn't have it any other way. I am stage IV (NED for 9 months now). A friend of mine who uses the same Oncologist as me was a stage II and she got PET/CT scans every 3 months also for the first year and half, and now every 6 months. My Oncologist will do whatever we want to give us peace of mind. I am lucky. I wouldn't just sit around waiting for mets either. Because I know from experience that mets don't always present symptoms and it's better to catch them early that have them spread all over your body and then deal with them. I recently read on the John Hopkins website that those with single small mets in any major organ has a better prognosis than those with many mets in multiple organs..it just makes sense. Get your scans or find an Oncologist who will work with you...it's your life..sherryg683
