CT scans on lungs

I just had my 2nd 6 month CT exam and noticed they haven’t been scanning my lungs. They only scan my pelvis/abdomen. I thought this was odd. I have a follow appointment in 3 weeks and will ask my oncologist about it but I’m curious if one of you knows if it’s common not to scan the lungs as well.

Re: To the newly diagnosed

That’s Awesome'! Thanks for sharing. I’m in the DFW area and going to find a different oncologist. If you don’t mind me asking who is yours and would you recommend them?

Thank you NHMike! Sounds like I got the right amount (6 cycles for low risk).

Is 6 cycles of Folfox enough?

Hello all,
I start my first of six cycles of folfox on 12/1. I will ask my oncologist about this as well but everything I’m seeing online is a minimum of 8 cycles. Has anyone else only had 6 and was it successful?

I have stage IIIb CC, G2, 2/29 + LN.

Thank you
