I'm four years out and was seeing my onc six monthly up to recently but have now switched to once a year. I think I recall her saying when I was dx that I'd see her regularly up to five years when I'd be discharged by her unless there was a problem.
At the time I could never imagine being five years out so did'nt listen too well, but definatly think you need regular onc check ups.
