Anita, I had quarterly CT scans and blood work drawn for my Oncologist appt for four years straight. Fifth year I finally got down to just a chest xray and blood work drawn. My ENT prefers that I seem every four months for a complete checkup. And if anything goes wrong in between those times I see my Internist. Thankfully I have been fairly healthy! I get so tired of Doc and Dentist appointmets, but still, a small price to pay for a happy life. Sincerely, Donna
