View Full Version : CT-Scans vs X-Rays

My oncologist had arranged for 6 months worth of appointments after my RPLND results had come in (some of the nodes were found to have teratoma, which is not posted in my signature file).

I am currently having CT-Scans done every other month, all of which have come back completely satisfactory so far. My doctor said in the beginning that she would consider having chest X-Rays done instead, provided that all results were good after those 6 months had passed.

We are going to be at that point in November. I checked the TCRC website, but somehow stage IIa with 3xBEP and RPLND does not appear to be mentioned.

I was wondering if I could get input from some members as to what their doctors/hospitals are doing?

Thanks,
Martin
