Hi all,

I am about to finish radiation following AC+T adjuvant chemotherapy. I don't have mets. How often should I be doing follow up tests. The onc said he wanted to see me every 3 months for the first year. He said he would only do the regular blood tests and tumor marker tests ( CEA and CA 15-3).

I thought that I would have regular CT, bone, and MRI's scans, but he said we would only do these if there are symptoms or abnormal markers. I was disappointed that we would not be doing proactive scans. Tumor marker are so unreliable.

What follow-up treatment are you all on?

Thanks

Janet
