Hi Chris,
I think every onco is different in how they follow up after treatment. From everything I read the survival is no diff when mets are found if the person had routine followup with scans or not. My onco is very aggressive with the scans and I have a bone and cat scan every 3-4 months and and a pet scan every 6 months! I think it kinda all depends on your insurance and what it will cover as well. I feel very fortunate that all my scans are covered 100 percent. Hope this helps.If you have any more questions don't hesitate to email me!
