Hi August, maybe your cancer is not as advanced as mine because I had more frequent and thorough follow-up tests including CT scan, MRI, ultrasound scan and chest x-ray. I had all these tests on a 6-month basis in the first two years after completing treatment and then annually. Now that I have passed the so-called 5-year milestone, I have shifted myself to an ordinary body check which includes ultrasound scan to major internal organs and chest x-ray. I still have a medical appointment with my oncologist twice a year.
