Is getting a CT scan & bone scan standard for early breast cancer?

I agree with others that scans put me at ease because they are such a great diagnostic tool to be sure cancer hasn’t spread. I had all the scans when I had stage 1 breast cancer CT MRI PET. Now I have MBC and wish they would do an annual bone scan routinely for my peace of mind but they only did that one during the initial scans. To me all scans are very easy to do. Breast MRI is the only challenge for my body due to Superman flying position. I always breathe easier when scans come back good. Hugs to you.

How long inBetween your scans did they find MBC? Im having my first PET scan tomorrow. Wondering how often I should do them now

I agree, why they don’t do a bone scan or pet scan must be a relief, especially when you’ve been diagnosed with cancer. I’m going to talk to my oncologist on my next visit. Thanks for your input
