Sorry - I never read anything on that - but let's see who else has info
I just read it tonight on the endocrinology web site.
I was at my endos office this past monday and she said the new follow procedure is WBS at 7 mos after Initial RAI and surgery and then another WBS a year after that and then blood test every year to monitor Tg levels and ultrasound every 3 years.Didnt say anything about a chest x-ray

I just had my first annual WBS done in January and I had to get a chest x-ray before the WBS. I also had a chest x-ray before my TT.
Probably to check for enlarged nodes. I know my doc feels for them at my checkup.
I've never had one in the 22 years since my initial diagnosis.
Haven't had a chest x-ray in conjunction with my cancer/treatment - neither have any of my sisters.
