How often does the doctor do labs, bone scans, pet scans etc?
Ladybird33- I feel like my calendar has been full of testing and doctors. 2 weeks ago colonoscopy (all ok) today bone density. In 2 weeks oncologist. Then I hopefully take a break until December when I go to my PC for regular check up. My breast surgeon has me going for sonogram every 6 months and mammo every year. As long as its all good, I don't mind. I now go to my urologist only 1x a year instead of 6 months. In 2014 I had a small piece of my kidney removed (thank God I didn't need treatment of any kind). It is not easy but it is now our new normal. We are all living it together
Hugs to you ladies
Blood work only, every six months for 5 years.
Mine told me a breast exam every 3 months for a yr, then twice a yr for the next year , these appts could be done with my local family physician, feel I was discarded!
My breast surgeon dues US each time I visit which is twice a year. My other onc said that although a blood test won't tell you the cancer is back and it can indicate things which is sometimes the byproduct of the cancer being in the body. .
I was given an mamagram in 6 months and visit conference twice and personnel visit every 3 months for a physical
