Re: is getting scans a good idea?

I get mammos (one side only) and paps (yearly check up things) one a year and blood work every 3 months but scans only if physical symptoms are present. Sometimes I wish my onc. did them more often but then again it would probably just cause undo worry and stress. Every Dr. seems to approach this differently, we need to do what is right for each of us and our peace of mind.
