Re: Need Some Advice

Hi Lisa
I've had some spots in my lungs that sound similar. I had
scans every 3 months and then every 6 months. They
eventually disappeared and then two new ones popped up.
Then those two disappeared. I ended up having a lot of
scans.

My onc. was never concerned ... but always wanted to keep
an eye on them. At my Cancer Centre the same radiologist
reviews my scans and does comparisons.
My oncologist goes by the radiologist's suggestions.

Maybe you would feel better with 3 month scans just to
ease your mind a bit.
