Leena, I understand how you feel about being insecure with the follow up scans.As Ed suggested, you should be given follow up scans to confirm you are cancer free after finishing treatment. I was given a full set of scans including MRI, CT scan, ultra sound and chest X ray. During my other follow up appointments, the oncologist just felt my neck and looked at my tonsil and throat. Last time I expressed my concern about occasional sore under my chin, my onologist then arranged MRI for me. There is a long queue so I shall have it in September.
Anyway, congratulations on your good news.
Karen.
