My oncologist and internist are at odds now about scans
and tests to have. I tend to agree with Brenda to have
the scans even though I am a nervous wreck that day.
My oncologist says ok to have, my internist says too
much radiation that could cause something else. I insisted on full body CT scan in May, two year anniversay and had one. One small lung nodule showed
up that should be followed. I feel if I had had a base line we would know if it was new or had been there all
along, but we don't. I'm having another CT scan on
Monday to check the lung nodule and then we will go
from there. I feel if found early, treatment is easier
and I have already had a lot of radiation with my
lumpectomy and radiation so whats a little more.
