They've been watching mine for 2 years---well, they WERE--and was told if this last CT was fine then we would go to yearly CTs, so that seems normal. In my case of course, it went crazy after tthe 18 month CT. Hope yours continue to stay stable!

@julie67, thank you for sharing your experience, I feel greatly relieved to hear that if all is stable for 2 years it’s normal to wait a year for the next scan. I’m truly sorry that it didn’t go well for you, I’m such a pessimist about these things and sadly I cause myself so much undo misery, my mother always said to me that I don’t need any enemies because I’m my own worst enemy, sad but true. We just don’t get any guarantees in life and that’s the way it works, I try my hardest to live life one day at a time but sometimes it’s hard to do. I wish all the best in your journey back to good health and stability and hope to hear how you’re doing.
