Hello Brenda, thank you for opening this discussion. Let me tag some other members who can possibly share their opinions on this.
Hi everyone, how are you today? Is it advised that cancer patients get a yearly MRI post-treatment? What kind of follow-up have you received?

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

Should cancer patients be getting MRI yearly after they have completed their treatment? My Oncologist said that my insurance will not cover it unless I am having symptoms. Some cancers do not display any symptoms until it is too late. This really stressed me, which is not good for one either.
Thank you for your input.
