Scans after treatment

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I didn't know where to post.

I was diagnosed in November 2020, stage 1 B (3 small -- under 2 cm) tumors in my left breast, no lymph node involvement. Had a bi-lateral mastectomy, followed by 4 rounds of T&C chemo, and about to start AI drugs. But my doctor said she doesn't do scans -- so no follow-up MRI's, bone scans, lung scans, etc. This scares me! I know some of my friends do get scans, others don't. Wondered if I could get some guidance on what standard follow-up protocol is. Thank you!

    This forum is in the "Not Diagnosed But Concerned" section of the board so I'd suggest you ask the Moderators to move this thread to another section. Maybe the Stage I or IDC forums, or the "Share Your Experiences Of Life After A Breast Cancer Diagnosis" forum, where there are similar threads asking about follow-up care.

    This isn't from the most recent NCCN Guidelines, but I don't think there has been any change:

    I see you've posted in a different forum. To avoid duplication and save people time (no point providing the same answer that someone else has already provided) , it would be better to send a PM to the Moderators to move this thread, rather than start an identical thread in another forum.
