Thanks Debbie for your comments. My onc follows the national guidelines and for the most part I am comfortable with no tests, no scans, no markers being run. Every once in a while I find myself wondering "what if" (after all, I felt perfectly healthy when I was diagnosed), but then I read a post of an anxiety ridden member waiting for results and realize that this is the best course of action for me. I have total confidence in my onc and feel that sometimes we get carried away with thinking that we know better than the trained professionals. While I think it is crucial to remain informed of our choices and options, I think it is equally important that we put our trust in our health care proffesionals and follow the guidelines put out by respected organizations.
