Carol, I am a 29 yr survivor. I have and will be going back every year for the rest of my life for blood check and chest x rays suggested by my doc. Hmm. I thought or assumed everyone did?

Hi Carol, no, I didn't have any itching. That's interesting that you did. I have'nt heard that one before. Glad it stopped after you started radiation. I just had my annual follow up of blood work and chest x-ray last week. Doc says all if fine. But he is now asking all his former patients like me to have a colonoscopy every 4 or 5 years now. He recently had one like us that came up with colon cancer. I had one done 3 years ago, since we are in that age range to watch for that now. I also just started Levoxyl .50 mg for my thyroid, since it was radiated back then and now it is underproducing. Feeling good now though. Take care.

over 9 years agoI know Doug I always wondered why I am not checked out yearly with some sort of tests. I did ask my doc to get a chest x-ray done last fall because it had been awhile and that is where my hodgkins was. I had a large chest mass and it showed on x-ray when they started doing all the tests on me 31 yrs ago.
