Hi all.
The other view on scans; I'm super high risk (stage 3a) and have an onc who likes to do routine scans. I've been scanned twice since finishing tx and each time have gone through a false positive before having to do more scans and find out that, no, I do not have metastic disease but do have radiation scarring on one lung. I can't tell you how disturbing and stressful these two events were. Both times, my doc was talking about doing open lung biopsies! Can you imagine going through that -- major surgery -- for a misdiagnosis! Anyway, I know scans can provide much peace of mind and find things early -- but I just wanted to let you know that there is another side to it.
Best to all, Linda.
