Frequency of CT scans or PET scans after treatment

Songflower

What information have any of you had with how often CT or PET scans should be done once you complete treatment. Every six months? yearly? I suppose we have varying opinions on that too!

My experience
I am sure that the follow-up plan will be quite varied. I had Stage 111A, Grade 11/111 Endometroid Adenocarcinoma. My gyn/onc's follow up plan: CT of Abd, pelvis and chest (which was one month after radiation and just prior to start of chemo.) CT of ABD/pelvis 3 months after chemo. No more routine CT scans unless there are symptoms/concerns identified. Pelvic and pap smear every 3 months for 3 years and every 6 months for 2 more years. An annual check x-ray and of course annual mammogram. No PET scans.

I'm having a CT scan every 6 months for 2 years. Not sure the plan after that, perhaps yearly.
