Question follow up standard of care

Post treatment, I am with a new oncologist. I think, because she has not made the journey with me, I am not 100% comfortable with her treatment decisions. Although I have a regular schedule of follow up appointments, with her, rad onc, surgeon, GP ( 1 a month) I question no follow up testing. I am thankful everyday, I have no symptoms to report, however I feel something is missing. When I did have vision problems, I was in for a brain scan, all kinds of appointments and she was relentless with this. Maybe my feelings are just becoming used to the new normal and fear of relapse? Dec 3rd 2011 will be my 2 year mark post surgery, time is time to get over this! Would be interested in hearing of others follow up care and perhaps some questions for my upcoming appointment. Namaste.
