Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | The only PET I had was pre Tx. I got MRI's for the first 4 years along with a chest x-ray. Now it's just an annual chest x-ray (if I remember to go and have one). They still do blood work every 6 months and I am on an annual doctor visit followup.
The last visit with the H&N surgeon, in December, he said I was considered "cured" and didn't need to come back.
