Same here, my onc only likes to do scans with physical symptoms present or pain. I only request one now when really concerned after a month or so with symptoms and feel I had too many in the past due to my own hysterical emotions!!!!
I stay vigilant but don't request them quite so often, and usually the pain or symptom does go after a week or so!
