Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 102 | My husband will be 3 years post radiation July of this year. They have scheduled him for only a visit with the dr, and said after this we will only go once a year just to see the dr. Just wondering what others schedules for followups are. We are so used to having the blood test, chest xray, H & N cat scan, I'm kinda scared to not have them.
Thanks!

I feel the same as you...Last visit my ENT said 4 months (instead of 3) when the Dr. left me with the scheduler I simply said "3 months please" she set it up and I don't know if the Dr will even notice. I just like to have that to hold on to.
Congratulations on your good health!
