I was a smoker for 35 years - how often should I check?

I was a smoker for 35 years I have not smoked for almost 2 years I got a CT and well my question is how often should I check?

  1. Hi ,

    Screening recommendations can vary by individual ( https://lungcancer.net/diagnosis/screening ) but often are recommended yearly, though more is being looked at for screening recommendations for men and women. We always recommend checking with your doctor or healthcare team for individual recommendations - how did the CT go? Hope this information helps!

    Thinking of you.

    Best,
