Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 | Here in the US, scans are more common. I believe the first one is done about 3 or 4 months post rads and then at 6 months, 1 year, 1 1/2 years and 2 years then it goes to either 9 months or yearly.
Im 4 years out since my last round of OC and I get scoped once a years and chest xrays yearly but thats it. I only get the chest xrays as a tiny spot appeared a couple years back on my one lung.
Im not sure why we get scanned more than patients in other countries???? Medical conditions and routines are different in other countries.
