Hi August,

I hope your year check up turns out OK. You can insist on a check every 6 months if you want.

When I first went in for my tongue, they forgot to schedule me for scan at 6 months. So long story short I had recurrence with in a year.

So now I make sure I am checked and scanned. I even keep track which scan it is. I go in for my year scan in Dec. and I made sure it was the head & chest one. My H&N Dr. said feel free to help keep track of anything & everything. So from now on I do. Others here have said to be pushy if you want, after all it is your life.

So maybe when you go in you can ask about being checked every 6 mo. or what ever you feel more comfortable with.

My husband is nervous about me going from 3 mo. to possible 6 mo. I will find out when I go in. In some ways I am looking to every 6 mo. We have to drive about 170 miles round trip and over a mountain pass for check up.

I still go to regular MD for check on Thyroid every month. They are still trying to get it working right. Will be glad when they do.

Take care
Diane
