What kind of scans for BAC check up 19 years out?

Forums
General Lung/Thoracic Cancer

I had BAC in 2000 at age 46.  They removed my RUL and RML for a 10 cm tumor.  This was followed by 7 weeks concurrent chemo and radiation because of a 0.1mm margin.  Yes, I am 19 years out.  YAY!  Now age 65 and retired.

 What kinds of scans should I be getting on my yearly check up?   I've been just getting a chest x-ray evey year for last 10 years, but wondering if I need an occasional CT or PET?   Otherwise feeling fine.  Is there a standard protocol ?
