Did they do any scans at all on you when you were first diagnosed? I think I would at least want a set of scans done to make sure everything came back clean and that nothing had gotten out by means of the bloodstream. If that initial scan came back clean, I would be Ok with not having any other scans..that being I was diagnosed with early stage bc. I just think it is our duty and right to be active in our care and if a set of scans would ease your mind, then you should get them. When my brother was diagnosed with melanoma, his lymph nodes were clean. They later found out it had spread by way of his bloodstream. Not much they could have done either way in his case but that's not the case with BC.
