Hi @ksanji and welcome to Mayo Connect. Usually follow up testing and scans determine how effective the treatment was. Do you have anything scheduled? How long will your current treatment continue?

@tomrennie The scan date is in about three weeks. They say there's no point in doing a CT scan or MRI before that. They say they'll consider surgery after that.
