Cindy,
No the doctor appointments never go away unless you want them to. I'm 8 years out on my first occurrence and still get scoped every 3 or 4 months.

You can look at these appointments one of two ways. 1) Living in fear of them every 3 months and worrying that the dr is going to tell you the cancer returned OR 2) you can look forward to it as the day the doctor is going to tell you that you're still healthy and there are no problems. I much prefer the later approach. I also prefer to be seen every 3 months because that way, I feel if anything is going wrong, my doctor will catch it early enough to treat it.

My doctors were certain I was cancer free at the end of my radiation so I really had no reason to think otherwise. I decided there was no use worrying about it, I'd get on with my life. Unless your doctor thinks there is some reason to worry, I'd suggest you take the positive approach.

Take care,
Eileen
