My oncologist is also of the school that believes scans should only be done if there are symptoms. At times i find this hard to understand as it would seem that early detection improves our treatment options and survival. I now have a nagging pain in my pelvis down into my leg (feels a bit like a nerve pain) but i don't know at what point i go running to the doctor. I had a bone scan for a slight pain in the leg six months ago (no where near the pain i have now) and it was clear. I suppose i have no clear idea of when i should go to the Doctor. I find going to Dr's appoinment a real hassle and prevents me from feeling 'normal'. Janet M
