Caroline, it seems like we are being monitored by the opposite ends. Meaning, I get scans every 3 months and rarely tumor markers (only once at recurrence diagnosis so far); actually I get head MRI's every 3 months, and body scans approximately every 6 months. And you get tumor markers every month and scans every year. Interesting, huh?? Do you get scans every year because your cancer type is slow growing???
Can you tell me further about your cancer type? Are you ER/PR strongly positive? What stage were you previously your mets diagnosis?
Talk more later... my dog is calling for his favorite daily walk! :-)
