pewjumper Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 For all my friends here whose cancers were resected, what were your follow up regimens after chemo and/or surgery? Mom had an MRI and chest xray as soon as chemo was over (though it was due to other things), but now she's only scheduled for a CT in August. What tests did you have at what intervals?

Andrea Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 First it was 3 month intervals for my mom, then 4 month, and now 3 years out 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolhg Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I had follow up scans and blood work every three months for the first year and a half. Now I go every 6 months. It will be two years since my surgery in July. Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chloesmom Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I had follow-ups every three months for the first two years, and at that time, it was chest x-rays. Now I have a CT and surgeon's visit every year and I've been told that will be forever. I see my oncologist once a year now. For the first three years, it was every six months.

Don M Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I had a ct scan every 6 months and an xray in the interval time so that I would have a ct scan then 3 months later have an xray and then 3 months later, another ct scan. I did this pattern after my first and second cancers. After my third cancer, I have been doing a PET/CT scan every 3 months. Don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
