No more visits to Onc- is this right?

Hi ladies,
Well, I had a quick 5 minute appointment with my Onc today (he was very behind with his appointments!) and he told me that he doesn't need to see me anymore!! I am quite shocked about it actually...I know this is good news but I thought I would be followed by him for the full 5 years? He just said that I would have a yearly visit to the breat nurse/surgeon until I get to the five year mark. I was diagnosed just over 2 1/2 years ago, anybody else had this experience?
Thanks,
Emma
