How soon after your last round of chemo did you get a repeat CT scan?

@justanotherpt, It makes sense that you would want to see the full response of the chemo, so waiting to near 3 months may show a better result (but I'm not a doctor). Waiting any longer can be unsettling if the chemo isn't having an impact on the cancer.
What have they recommended for you? Longer than 3 months?

Hi. Thanks for responding. No the order was non-specific - scan by April of '24. My last chemo is in 2 days. I've been waiting for Osi since July after official histology (aggressive features) and EGFR mutation (rare variant) genetic results. So I could schedule it for between 8-12 weeks as per guidelines or prefering to just transfer care to another instituion/oncology team to find out when to get scan, when to start osi, and other issues that have not been addressed by current oncologist.
Thanks again for responding.
I will feel more confident once I get to a place that responds more appropriately.
