PET/CT's kind of vary, but usually every 6 months for the first couple years seems the norm. I'm about 19 months out from finishing RAD, still see the doc about every 2 months weather he wants me to or not, and still doing PET/CT every 6 months. About 6 months is about as long as I can go without needing the mental reasurance that everything is OK.
