Hi Joanne S

That seems to be the way it goes for many of us. My onc also says that there is no benefit to long term survival by finding mets early. He will give me tests if I have symptoms.

This is a hard one to swallow for me. It doesn't make sense that finding mets when they are small isn't beneficial. But I have been told this from many doctors and have heard from many people on this board that they've been told the same thing by their oncs.

My onc did say to me that he would order tests for me if I really needed them for my peace of mind.
