I am 2 years out from my last surgery. I now see my surgeon every 8-12 weeks, my RO every 4 months, and my MO twice a year. In addition, my GP sees me every 3 months for all of the other usual issues - BP, etc. There are also nutritionists and psychosocial oncology specialists available at my call at our Cancercare Center.

I get a contrast CT every 6 months. I get an annual chest x-ray for some "nodes" that we evident when I was first diagnosed 5 years ago.

If I ever have a lump/bump, my Surgeon is very accommodating and usually sees me to biopsy / look at it within a week or so.

So far, the above has worked. I continue to be thankful for each day and greedily ask for more!

Hugs
