Definitely talk to your oncologist.

My grandma had BC in her 50s and then it returned at 95, so scans were helpful for her all the way through for her.

I am a younger survivor, but I plan to follow her example.

@seathink I believe some oncologists follow the recommendations of ending mammograms at a
particular age, I think 75. I had to strongly request
continued testing.
