Re: Do you get scans with your quarterly checks?

I am so glad this question came up, because it is the question I was going to ask tonight! I finished chemo, and have my consult visit with the surgeons for bilateral mastectomy/reconstruction coming up, and have not had any scans since May. I recently had an MRI for...you guessed it...hip and low back pain. Mine is worse after sitting or lying down, also! I am still on Herceptin, and will be 48 next month...still a spring chicken! LOL! Reading all of your posts has put my mind at ease....Thanks!
