My blood tests have been done every 3 months since the recurrence but at least once is a year is standard and with a new diganosis, I would think every 6 months. There are probably several tests you should have once a year as a check: sonogram, mammogram, maybe lung scan, etc. Ask for your cancer profile showing whether you're HER2+ or -, ER+, PR+, etc and have your oncologist go through each one explaining what it is and what it means regarding your treatment. you should also go on line and check out the meaning as well.
good luck.
