Re: Gratefully at 7 year mark but onc has question....

I think I'm with Tricia on this one. I had one concern that we followed up with scans, and all was clear. I'd employ the two week rule; if something bothers you for two weeks without improving, consider getting it checked. Otherwise I think I'll just try to stay tuned in to my body and not worry myself to death with scanxiety. QOL has value!
