Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 | Im sorry to read about your lack of a clear long term plan and follow up! Unfortunately this is pretty much the norm many patients 5+ years out report. When a patient has clear scans and exams then hits their 5 year post treatment cancer-versary most doctors will consider that patient officially cured, they're cancer free. Im not sure if this helps, its just a guess why your physicians are not continuing a follow up plan.
CONGRATS on your success!!!! and as always... best wishes with everything!!!
