I am on the same followup plan as Marejo. Symptoms are what will determine whether I have scans. I did have a brain MRI a year ago due to severe headaches. Much to my son's surprise I have a normal brain. In my opinion, waiting for routine test results (other than labwork) is not the way I want to live. My markers were never elevated from the beginning. If I did want more intensive followup I know my Oncologist would oblige.
Followup seems to be as diverse as our individual diagnosis. You and I have similar tumor types, however, I am 52 years young and almost 3 years out. Good Luck, Krista, do what feels right for you. Aloha...on my way to Hawaii tomorrow!!!!
