Re: No tests scheduled after chemo is finished.
Every 3-6 months is really a lot for someone who is not stage 4. It is one thing if you are having symptoms, but I am stage 4 and I only have scans every 6 months.
I do think it is reasonable to have one at the end of treatment and yearly, if your ins will cover it.
