Well, Im off the AI and ended my relationship with my Onc - due to severe SEs.  Im planning on monitoring my health diligently, and will be seeing my FNP and my naturopath to guide me.  But wondering if any of you schedule MRIs, pet scans, thermography labwork or anything else besides paps and mammos - if you still need them.

    With the nuclear scans there is some risk, so typically they are not recommended as a regular thing in a situation like yours. What my doc wants to do as regular follow-up (after we do one more set of scans) is an annual chest X-ray and an ultrasound of my liver. This sounds quite reasonable and minimally invasive to me.
