Hello everyone
I have recently started Chemotherapy and, if I’m honest, I felt quite confident that at the end of my treatment I would be safe from reoccurrence of my cancer. I now find myself worrying endlessly that my cancer could reoccur. My question is, if I don’t have my whole body scanned regularly how would I know that I am safe from it returning?
can I request a scan and what type of scan would I need?
Am I over thinking things or is this something I should ask for?
Thank you
