Re: when did you 'break up' with your onco?

Never unless he retires! I've had a recurrence so I certainly can never be considered "cured". I love my old, retired oncologist and will continue to see him yearly as long as he is still seeing people and I am able to see him. He's so dedicated and retired - only consults and a top oncologist here (head of top cancer hospital) - that he doesn't charge patients anything anymore! Of course I always take a great gift - a good champagne or a big rose bush or ? I consider that I'm alive today because of him after my recurrence so I feel more confident seeing him yearly. I was on Herceptin for 6 years and at first I was told it might be for life. So my case is different to yours. Still in your case I think I would like to continue to see a cancer gynecologist and have good testing.
