Interesting... maybe Canada is different, but in the US, we see onc even if we are not on chemo. I decided to do chemo, but if I did not, I would still be under the onc care for at least 5 years. I also had 2A and I have CT scans every 6 months and bloodwork every 3 months. He said I will be doing this for 3 years.
I would request that they move up the CT scan... you should not have to wait a month to get your answers. Plus, if they are worried, the dr should have requested that the scan be done ASAP. I would call and raise hell!
