Thanks everyone ... Fed, yes I felt more relaxed when Dr. Einhorn said to go back to monthly tests.
Sharon, I sure do understand. I notice that I start feeling kind of sick to my stomach when it's time to get test results, and I'm moody. It's hard to just feel normal .. it's like a dark cloud hanging overhead all the time, never knowing what to expect next. I pray that Russell's scans and markers come back 100% clean. Let us know, please.
Also, I see questions about how often to do CT scans, and there seems to be different opinions not only depending on the type and extent of cancer, but just from one doctor to another in an individual case.
Anthonys RPLND surgeon said CT's every 2 or 3 months.
His oncologist said every 3, but then the date he was going to set him up for would have been 4 months post RPLND.
I asked Dr. Einhorn and he said .. every 4 months for the first 2 years .. and then years 3 - 5 every six months.
Im not sure if it's different because Anthony had a relapse, or partial response to chemo, compared to someone that has complete response.
