First off, congrats on the NED status!
It's interesting to see that you have separate MRIs for the liver and pelvis. My husband only gets "Abdominal MRIs" done.
So, initially, the oncologist said he would have every 3 months CTs (chest and upper body) and MRIs, alternating. Then, after his January 2018 liver surgery and May 2018 CT, which came up clear, the onc said, "see you in six months for a CT." Well, I was not at that appointment, and I would have spoken up. This summer, I had to argue for a MRI and it was FINALLY scheduled and done December 3rd!
Well, wouldn't you know - a met was found. Thank god I stay on top of his care. He'd be on a quick path to his grave if I left it all up to his doctors.
(I have ALWAYS had an issue with doctors, having reversed my heart disease naturally, myself, without their input. Had I listened to them, I'd be dead by now.)
