Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 126 | I got a CT and chest x-ray every 3 months for the first year, but I am moving to once every 4 months for my second year. I think if all scans are clear, I will continue to have CT scans/chest x-rays twice a year after that until I reach 5 years, then once a year going forward. It's weird how there is no real standard, I guess it just depends on your doctor's discretion.
