I was so tired of doctors that I "retired" my RO, MO, and primary and just see my ENT (who was the first to DX me as well as did the surgery )every three months. I get an MRI once a year although the MRI radiologist recommends every six months but I'm comfortable with my ENT's judgement.
Plus only having one MRI a year significantly reduces my routine pre-scan paranoia. So far, so good.
