I'm with you on the cost thing.
I quit seeing my surgeon after the staples were removed. I quit seeing my rad onc a year after finishing rads. I was seeing my old onc every 6 months, but my new one wants to see me every 3 months. I see my GP once a year if I can get away with it.

Rhonda,

I "voluntarily" quit seeing my onc in June 08. I'm now 5 years out and doing well. He was a great onc but ordered an MRI when I'd had a headache for a couple of days! Then I had all the anxiety, etc. It was time for me at 3 and 1/2 years to stop.
