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

Valerie,

I am 9 years out from diagnosis now. Last year my Onc seemed quite content to continue on meeting annually indefinitely. Frankly, I find other professionals, even my G.P. and Gyn, defer to her regarding simple things such as ordering prescriptions for vaginal atrophy. Sheesh. I hope to keep "dating" yearly forever.
