had a mastectomy, lymph node removal (11), chemo and raditation - treatment ended in late 2008 - I have had a CT of chest and abdomen but no other tests. Should I request a PET scan???I've been havving some pain under my arm and in the "breast" area. I had asked my doctor via his nurse - he hadn't ordered any because I did not have insurance - just found out my current health insurance does not have pre-existing and therefore would cover a scan so I am wondering should I have any scans or anything -
thanks






I have seen the doctor and that is when we did the CT scan - he said te scan was okay - I am still having the pain under the arm and the breast area. What are routine after-treatment tests??
