after my last herceptin, I sat with the doc for post vigilance. And I was surprised to hear that he did not recommend regular scanning either. well i said no to this! I flet like why isn't there more to catch early, I think it does make a difference in treatment availability
I let him know that as long as insurance covered it I would like to a minimum of one scan once a year. i'm scheduled for mri once a year for the breast also as well as watching a lesion in my sternum. every three months i get a blood panel, he felt that this would indicate breast cancer recurrence. this, i'm going to review now becasue with both breasts gone after the proph mast, the issue now becomes new primaries, not just on the breast wall remaining.
I'll post here when I go see him in March on this
