Thanks... I know believe me I don't want to be exposed to any more radiation that I need, however a chest xray only picks up tumors in the late stages. I wasn't asking for lots of scans... I wanted one to ensure my chest was clear... Then follow up xrays would be fine... he just infuriates me when he says... it may or may not be there - and if it's there at this point it doesn't make a difference. as in... so it's there too late you're gonna die... essentially. That peeves me off. He only does ct's when you are symptomatic... are you kidding me. I follow up chest ct post treatment should be offered. Then only given if symptomatic. However usually by the time you have symptoms it's advanced... what's the matter with catching it in the early stage? or better yet... knowing if there is something they should keep an eye on...? UGH! this guy make me crazy. I do get where you're coming from Eshwar... I agree.. too much is bad. But I'm really not a person who runs to the dr. about stuff all the time. If I have an issue I give it time to resolve itself, then if nothing changes I go see someone. I'm not an alarmist believe me. I just feel that once everything is done a final ct should be done to say... okay clear. or not. Also I have trust issues with this guy. I guess. I really think I need to change... Im sure he's good at what he does and I don't need a hand holder, but I do need someone who is ahead of the game not behind it. I guess the words are proactive instead of reactive?
