What tests has your doctors perscribed post BMX? I just went to my 6 month post op check up with my breast surgeon. I thought she would do a sonogram, but she said no. Because of my bilateral mastectomy, there is nothing to look at but muscle, so all tests from now on will be by touch or Pet CT.

    Melly, I was a high risk stage III with a bunch of nodes and a big tumor. I  am skinny as a rail, but my BS is going to US me every 6 months for a while.  I've also had an MRI but it was more to answer a question than just regular follow-up.  I think we're a little bit in no-man's (or woman's) land - I'm not aware of any big organization having made official recommendations.

    Thanks Outfield. I agree with you about no-woman's land.
