I am 3.5 years out and they decided to stop scanning me. They will always scope me and do a chest xray every year. There is exposure to a little radiation but the 1st few years after treatment are the highest chance of reoccurance. Hopefully you won't be scanned for life. I know exactly how you feel-- it is good to know the info but they are not the most fun things to do.

Hang in there! Kate
