Welcome to the group today and, just going to give you my opinion from
past experience. Im 68 and last year was diagnosed with cancer in the lung
and a brain tumor that was cancerous. The lung scans over a period of time
went unchecked instead of every 6 months. I let it go until the dots in my
lung had one break loose and went to my brain. Needless to say that mass
grew until it dropped me. And here I am, scans every 3 months on chest,
stomach and pelvis, every 6th month one of the brain. The emergency
surgery and radiation treatments with chemotherapy mix got rid of the
cancer. That was last march and April. Still have no cancer back but wish
I would have stuck with the 6th months check up. Maybe they could have
headed this off at the start. Hope this helps you.
No change sounds great! I hope that’s what mine says.
