What follow-up tests are done after chemo?

Hi OC Sisters:

I finished 6 rounds of Carboplatin/Paclitaxol for ovarian endometriod carcinoma stage 2 a few weeks ago, and I am wondering what tests/scans are usually done to monitor recurrences. I am on a 3-month follow-up schedule for 2 years, then 6 months if I remain NED. What sort of follow-up have you had (PET, CT, MRI?)

Also, how long does it take for eyelashes/eyebrows to grow back. Do hair vitamins or topical lash serums help?

Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Hi.. For my mother it was ca125 every three months and scans (PET especially) if doctors suspect anything..

Thanks! Were the scans done only if there was something suspicious, or were they routine?

In our case it was ca125 every three month and every six months scan..
