Hi @beachgirl23 and @marvinjsturing, you'll notice that I moved your messages to this discussion about pancreatic cancer and out of the discussion about melanoma of the eye. 🙂

It sounds like you are in good care, beachgirl. My recommendation is to talk to your doctors about the frequency and type of scan you need now and in the future. I don't want you to worry unnecessarily. As Marvin says, everyone is different. For you, the necessity of a PET scan may only be this once to examine the scarring closely. After that CT scans may be all that is necessary. No one knows excepts your cancer care team who are familiar with your situation specifically. Tell them your concerns about coverage. They can work with your insurance coverage and give you the right followup for you.

Does that make sense? I'd be very interested in hearing the result of you conversation with your oncologist. When are you scheduled for your next visit? When is the PET scan?
