As you can see Dr. handle appointments differently. I was seeing my onc every three months, graduated to every 6 months and now see her every year. But I see my surgeon every year also. I see my onc once a year in June and my surgeon once a year in December. So technically I am still on a 6 month schedule. It eases my mind to see them even after 5 years.
