Frequency of checkups

HI,  just a general question - How often do you women see your doctors for checkups.  My oncologist  wants me to come back every 4 mos.  He rarely does anything, but check my blood.  I am 8 years out, never had a problem since diagnosis.  Im on Femara.  I would think that 2 times a year would be sufficient.  Just curious.

I think twice a year at 8 years just because you are on the femara. If not, every year or two!

I was at mine last week and got "the exam" and bloodwork. I tried to go from every 3 months to every 6 months and he said.... 4 months LOL

I'm coming up in January on my 2 year cancerversary.

Best wishes to you :)
