Monitoring yourself after tx

ckfelix79

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask how everyone is advocating for themselves post treatment and surgery to catch any trace of recurrence quickly. I was diagnosed with stage II/III IDC ER PR + her2- with lymohnode involved. I had AC chemo, taxol, double mastectomy, 28 rounds radiation and just finished reconstruction. My pathology report showed a complete response to chemo. Im prescribed exemestane and lupron ongoing. Im concerned about how im being monitored with blood work, is this enough? I have a friend who was diagnosed prior to me with the same cancer and only had one pet scan and is now showing cancer in 90% of her bones and lymph nodes. I just don't feel she was monitored accordingly. How can we do better? If there's already a thread like this please let me know thank you!
