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

I did not have any imaging, until I had a chest and abdomen CT prior to a GI consult. They saw some red flags so they ordered a bone scan and repeat CT and they were fine.
Both of my oncologists said no imaging with my Stage 1B.

Stage 1 er+ breast cancer with lumpectomy, chemo and radiation in 2019-my oncotype indicated high risk for reoccurrence.
I begged my oncologist for a PET scan to put my mind at ease and a very large tumor in my thigh appeared, not cancerous but rare and aggressive which is finally being surgically removed next month. 🙏
Ask for what will provide the information to put you more at ease, the fear of reoccurrence is very real and i hope your doctor can provide what is needed.
I wish you a healthy, long life. 😊
