Re: No tests scheduled after chemo is finished.
Everything they said...be really proactive. I asked for a brain scan and PET scan a few months after chemo was over, and was told the same thing your doctor told you. A couple months later I had headaches and ended up with five brain tumors. I have three tumors left, and my doctor is now telling me he wants to wait until they grow to cyberknife them. Im saying, oh heck no. Im not going to wait until one of them grows and there are gosh knows how many more are starting to crop up. Hang in there and be assertive...! Many prayers and blessings to you.
