How to monitor for reoccurring BC after double mastectomy?

I believe it was originally approved for colon cancer.

I too have nodules ( VERY common) that we have followed for 12 years now. They were detected on an x ray. Then CT ordered… and repeat CT for 2 more years. I accepted one more/no change and declined third CT ( too much radiation! ) and opted for x ray on third year. Just part of my body now I guess!

My oncologist said they only use blood tests for stage 4 to monitor progress.

I am going to wait another year (two years total) for a repeat CT on the nodule. If an x-ray is good enough I will do that. It is solid, only 3mm, not very worried about it!
