I had a PET/CT Scan at the beginning now I have a CT Scan once a year with and without contrast. My CT scan is from my waist to the top of my head. I didn't have cancer in my lymph nodes but this is what my Surgeon does. BUT I will say I asked for a scan 6 months after my surgery. I told my Dr. I won't be happy until I have one.
Push for a Scan and keep pushing you are your own best advocate.
Take care,
Connie
