I'm also Stage 3, locally advanced. I'm 2 years out from my dx and surgery, but was told by Lilly Shockney, that your time out usually goes from the end of your active treatment. So that means I'm about 7 months out.
I asked my Onc what kind of follow up we'd do to make sure nothing was going on, and he said we'd wait for symptoms.
Then I asked him about the positive IM node I had, and that there were no symptoms, and he said we'd do scans every so often.
I had a follow up visit last week, and asked about a scan, and he said we'd wait awhile. I told him I was unsure about my future insurance after this month and he said, we'd go ahead and do it now.
I kind of assume that maybe I would have gotten a scan each year. It just got pushed up a little this time.
I still get a mammo every 6 months on the BC side.
Other than that, I'm not pushing for any more scans.
I get bloodwork done every 6 months at my follow up exams.
Now I'm curious how often I'll be having my follow ups.
