    CT scans

    My gyn/onc does a CT scan after chemo to have a baseline to compare if anything shows up later. I had one scan before surgery for another problem, but after surgery and chemo the insides will look different anyway. This way, he says, if I get new symptoms or he visually sees something on the pelvic exam, the scan can then be repeated and any new spots should show up.

    In short, no new scans for me unless there is a reason. UPSC most often recurs in the cervix or abdomen before it goes to the lungs, he says. I was 1A to begin with.

    Oops, correction

    Instead of cervix, I should have said "most often recurs in the vaginal cuff or vagina or abdominal wall" (as I have no cervix at this point, obviously).

    Scans

    With regard to scans, I probably had scans twice a year since 2005 - In 2015 alone I had 4 PET scans, a CT scan, an MRI and 4 chest x-rays plus numerous ultasounds/CTs without contrast and an ERCP.   I have had one PET scan for this year already.   That glow you see at night is probably me!   Tongue Out

    Kaleena - Judging from your incredibly glowing complexion in your profile picture, you would glow even if you never had radiation. The glow coming from the strength and warmth of you ladies on this discussion board could be another Milky Way.
