Some cancers will show up in the blood and some don't. I have RCC, Renal Cell Carcinoma and it doesn't present in my blood at all. I have CT scans every 3 months..if they're clear I'm good to go, if anything shows up we deal with it then. Probably the same kind of routine that Tony's doing.

My step father had the same thing and has been cancer free now for about five years now. He still has regular tests, just not as often anymore as he did for the first three years after his surgery.
