I posted this on the General Board, and then I realized that it really belonged here. I will soon have my one-year check-up. I have not had any sort of scan or x-ray this past year. My surgeon has ordered a PET/CT and a liver function blood test. Is this adequate testing for this check-up? I don't know what else he could order, but I need to know that I have had everything possible to look for recurrence or metastacis. What tests do others have at one year, with no obvious evidence of recurrence?
