I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, get copies of my labs and scans from my doctor.I feel that your are your own best advocate so this is extremely important. After a while you will start knowing your body and recognizing any changes in blood work, if you see something on the scan reports that they failed to tell you. I don't mean this in a way to make anyone paranoid, but in doing this, I have kept a very close eye on my recurrences (even before doctors may have thought there was need to be concerned) and have caught them early in time. I am very pro-active in this regard. You are entitled to these reports, they are yours.
Good luck
