Hi all.
Just wanted to ask what people's checks ups consist of after treatment has finished.
I had a CT scan at at my first 3 monthly post of checkups which confirmed all cancer had been removed.
This was pretty much as expected given the surgeon confirmed the operation had been successful and that she was happy that she had remived everything she wanted.
Had the second of my 3 montly checkups yesterday and was told I will have no further scans unless I develop new symptoms. They essentially just asked if I felt ok and that was pretty much it.
Does this sound normal? Sure I have read people's stories who are havin periodic scans post surgery.
I was told by my surgeon that the chance of recurrence is reasonably high. Surely a periodic scan would give early warning should the worst happen. Waiting till I have symptoms seems like a pretty big risk.
