It sounds like your question got cut off — but it seems like you might be wondering whether you really need that upcoming PET scan in November. The short answer: yes, it's really worth keeping that appointment!

After completing R-CHOP, follow-up scans are a key part of staying on top of your health. Here's why they matter:

- Relapses are most likely to happen within the first two years after treatment
- Catching any changes early leads to significantly better outcomes
- Scans help confirm your remission is holding strong — which is great news to hear! It's completely normal to feel anxious about upcoming scans — many MyLymphomaTeam members describe this as "scanxiety." One member shared, *"It gets stressful when you're scheduled for another scan."*

That feeling is valid, but the scan is there to protect you. Think of it as your lymphoma keeping its distance while your medical team keeps a close watch. 💪

Always let your doctor know if you notice anything unusual — like swollen lymph nodes or night sweats — between appointments too.
