Hello Everyone,
I am one chemo treatment away from being done and I asked my chemo doc. when will I get my scans. I was told that it will be one year from the date of dx because if he was to scan me now with having radiation and chemo before surgery and then more chemo after surgery that my body is still healing and the test would prove just that. Well my year of dx is in April so i am ok with that. But than I asked him if I would be getting scans every 3 months. Now take into consideration that when i first went to him I was told by the nurse that i would get scaned every three months for the first year. He told me I would not get scans every three months that they will do a CEA count every three months and if that goes up or if I am having some symptoms then I will get a scan. I am stage 3b with one lymph node infected. Has anyone else been told this? Is this the norm?
any feed back would be great thank you!
