Did they not run scans on you when you were diagnosed? Since you are stage I with no lymph involvements they probably won't run any more scans (unless you later develop symptoms of mets). Thats the way a lot of Oncologist work. But I would think the scans would have been run at diagnosis to make sure there was no mets to begin with. sherryg683
