Brad, you are absolutely right about having a plan for stepping down. I was also glad to read that you got help from your PCP. Once the heavy duty treatments are over, most patients only get a monthly/three monthly call back to see their oncologist, but many patients still have issues which need to be taken care of in the mean time, between appointments. A good PCP can be a tremendous help. My husband relied on his all through. The PCP is much more accessible than the oncologist. It is really important for patients to keep that in mind.
