I have never had any type of scan done and I have had two bouts of bc. My tumors were quite small and there was no nodal involvement. When I asked about getting a PET after my recurrence, the onc and the surgeon said no. Unless there are symptoms, they felt it was unecessary.
Again, who knows what is best? I am comfortable with the decision. My one year check up (mammogram on the only breast I still have) was clear.
