I have talked my onc into having routine scans, after he at first told me that he would not do scans unless I had symptoms. I don't believe the thinking that finding a metastisis before you have symptoms doesn't improve your survival.I believe it is the ins companies pressuring drs to not do so many scans. In fact, in today's paper, it was announced that certain ins co will now make drs get prior approval for diagnostic scans. My ins co is one of them and I am now worried that I won't be able to continue to get scans.
