I have stage IV prostate cancer with a spot on my lung being the only known spread of my cancer. After my chemo regimen, my CT and bone scans have been clean for a year now. And my blood work is perfect at the moment. I am on Zytiga and getting a Lupron shot quarterly.
My doc still wants to do full bone and CT scans every 3 months even though my PSA and testosterone are zero or very low. And have been for a year now.
Is this normal or a bit overkill? I am worried about the radiation but also my novice perception of wasted resources.
Thoughts?
