Congratulations, Sweetbean!

Question - Do you normally get scanned every year if you're Stage III? I'm at Dana Farber, and I don't think my onc has plans to scan me ever again (*gulp*) unless (*gulp*) I start showing signs of mets.

sweetbean

Whoo hoo!!! Still doing the dance of joy!

 Windlass, my onc had no plans to scan me - I insisted.  I needed to know, quite frankly.  And I'm glad I did it.

HOORAY!!!!!  Happy for you!

LOVE IT!  I kind of wish my doc did yearly scans, but she doesn't.  But on the other hand, I'd probably be a mess going in and then while waiting.

GREAT NEWS!

My onc said he would only scan if there were symptoms, BUT that does not work for me so I wil insist on a scan one a year.  I have been having pain in my neck for the past 2 days, started out with sore muscles but my vertebrae hurt too. I see him on the 20th and will ask about it. I did have a neck xray in October and it showed some degeneration, part of getting old. I wonder if the tamoxofin is making me achy back there?   I did read somewhere that scans are hard on the body, like the liver and soft organs so that could be a reason but I also think that insurance companies balk at the cost. But oh well I have paid into my insurance for over 15 years, time for a little pay back.

Congrats sweet bean!!! I just had scans done of my neck and lower back - and I have a bulging disc in my neck and a ruptured disc in my lower L5 - and I was really afraid of bone mets so I guess it is good news. I feel like my body is falling apart though - does anyone else have severe back issues? Could it be residual from chemo and radiation? Maybe it is just old age - but at 52 I don't feel THAT old - glad for your great news Sweet Bean!!!
