Re: Stage I, how do is NED/progression normally monitored?

My onc sees me twice a year and does no tests at all unless I have a symptom. Actually, I think we're taking it down to once a year soon as it will be 5 years for me. It used to really worry me but as time goes on it gets easier. I'm actually starting to believe that the beast isn't coming back.
