My husband finished treatments April 15th. He saw the RO, MO and ENT once a month for the first three months after treatment ended. He now sees all three doctors every other month. He had a CT Scan with IV contrast of his neck and chest in August - all clear. He is scheduled to have another CT Scan the end of this month. His ENT and RO "scope" him every time he sees them. After January he will spread out his doctor visits to every three months. It makes me feel better that they are keeping such a close eye on him. I'm so sorry to hear about your recurrance.
