In alittle more than 2 months, I will be 4 yrs out. In Sept (when I am at 4 yrs) I will see my onc for the last every 4 month appointment and will move to every 6 months. I asked if at 5 yrs if I would move to once a year but he said "we'll see". I get a digital mammo every year (I still have both breasts) but want to also start getting a Dilon or MRI at the opposite 6 months. My onc does the tumor marker and blood work every time but I get a copy too and review it with him (I go to the cancer center a week before my appointment for blood work). My onc is the best but anyone can forget to look so I make a point to look myself. However, any test or bloodwork done by others I have a copy sent to my onc. He always, always emails me to say they are normal or what things mean (even if I already know). I am also carefully watched by my PCP and radiation onc who both see me every 6 months (opposite of each other). I see my surgeon once a year. I call them Mr. March, Ms June, Mr September and Mr December. I see my gyn in July but they don't care and I am looking for a new practice. The more people you get involved with your care, the more you are cared about.
