I went to have my pump put on today for the 11th time...finally I'm near the end, I can't wait, but now I'm beginning to think of the other tests coming up. Can someone tell me how soon after chemo ends do you go in for a CT scan? My onc. told me to wait 1 month after chemo to have the colonoscopy, is that normal? Are there any other tests that are normally done?
Thanks,
Denise

Scans
All of us are different but in my case, I had my last treatment
on Dec. 8 and had my CT scan done on Dec. 3 and a PET scan done
on Dec. 19. the CT scan showed no activity and the PET scan was
ok too and my CEA bloodwork was normal. The oncologist has ordered
a CT Scan every two months this year following a liver resection
and 8 chemo treatments after surgery and 4 chemo treatments before
surgery. The surgery was done July 08. My next CT scan is Feb.
12. I am due to have a colonoscopy in April. I am really anxious
about the results of the Feb. scan since it is the first one following
any chemo; it has been two months. Hope the old immune system is
doing its thing.0
