Right now I see my Radiation oncologist every three months, my Medical oncologist every six months, and my ENT every 6 weeks. I know I'll see my ENT every 6 weeks for the first year, every two months the second, every three months the third, and then every six months after that. I'm not sure what happens after 5 years, we'll see when we get there! But I guess every doctor is different with their preferences and such, so you would definitely have to talk to your doctors to get their preferences.
Stephanie, 23, SCC on the right side of my tongue, surgery on 5-19-08, over half my tongue removed, free flap constructed from my forearm, bilateral neck dissection, one positive node. Radiation (32) and chemo (carboplatin) started on 6-16-08. Recurrence 4/09 in lungs.
**** Stephanie passed away 12.15.09.... RIP our dear friend****
