Re: Not any kinds of scans will be done!
Hmmmm . . . I had a post chemo pet scan, and if I remember correctly mammograms every 6 months until I hit 5 years. There was also a breast MRI, and a brain MRI.
I had to be diagnosed with "general anxiety disorder" or something like that to get my scans. Frankly I think that is what the medical staff suffers from in response to my numerous requests for tests and information.
Yes, you have the type of doctor that doesn't believe in scans. But there are other doctors that use scans for follow up.
You can always get a second opinion.
