My mum had a successful  lumpectomy  with clear margins and no lymph node involvement.  She had finished 12 weeks of weekly chemotherapy  and has her last of 5 days of radiotherapy  on Monday. She has recieved a letter on Friday asking her to get abdominal  scan in 2 weeks time,  we are a little confused as she has no new symptoms  and she meets with her oncologist  every four weeks, she met with her last week and nothing was mentioned  :s could any one help shed some light please. She has been on tablets for low vitamin d and calcium  and is due to start a newish treatment  fi4 orevention of reoccurrence  in the bones ( sorry not sure the name) could his be a monitoring thing , I'm a little concerned at this.
