Re: Another question..

I just finished 3 weeks ago and just had a chest xray, bone scan and labs (tumour markers). All clear, some arthritis. I was told that there will be no other scan unless there is a reason to warrant it. Just lab works on follow ups. It is a scary transition but we will get past this. I had my scans done on wednesday and then had reconstruction on friday and I still had all the crap from the scans in my body when I went into surgery. That is alot of stuff that our bodies are trying to tolerate. Glad to be done and hope to stay that way. Good luck.
