My onc does tumor marker blood work every 4 months, and a pet/ct scan once a year, so far.
He does do a physical exam of my lymph nodes in the neck, shoulder, and under arm areas each time I see him now, which is about every 4 months.
I also have CMP and CBC's drawn, in addition to the
Ca 27-29.
I am going on 2 years out from surgery.
