I am also approaching my 3 yr cancerversary too! I get the tumor markers done. In June, I just had my last of the every 6 month mammos and now go to a year. I see my onc again in Sept (every 4 month schedule) and my surgeon in December (once a year). I am going to ask both about a breast MRI (getting that in Dec and the mammo again in June so I have something every 6 months). I am getting a brain MRI every year (although the last one was 15 months). I am doing this as a commitment to the women on this board. Other than that, I am not doing anything else test wise.

I have always been a diet and supplement queen from the beginning of this adventure in bcland.

I take tumeric, maitake mushroom, olive leaf, omega 3 alone and a combo with joint supplements, a multi, calcium with D, magnesium, extra D and cranberry (I get bladder infections). I also take flax oil.

That's my routine and I'm sticking with it.
