On the subject of check-ups, I'd like to get an idea of how often other people are getting scans done...CT or MRI. My husband had a follow-up appointment with his ENT last week, did the scope, everything looked okay. But then when I asked when he'd be ordering the first post-treatment scan, he said that he won't do any for a year - and then just a lung x-ray or CT. He said that scans aren't cost effective. I know the oncologist would like to see scans, bloodwork more often. I'm a little confused. We don't want to go overboard with tests too often (and the anxiety that could be associated with them), but think there must be a happy medium.

Thanks,
Anita
