On Sept. 19, I will be 5 years NED. Yay!

I wanted to get a sense of your experiences of the protocol for Stage 2 as far as follow-up visits at this point. Thanks!

    Congratulations on the five years!

     I am 7 years out on Oct 26 from stage IIb.  I was released from my oncologist at 5 years into the care of my regular doctor.  She would order the mamograms and ultrasounds now and if there are any issues I can always go back to my same oncologist, not that I want to anytime soon or ever!!!

    Congratulations on reaching 5 years. 

    My onc says that when I reach 5 years, I will only see her annually (for life).  For now, it's every 4 months until I'm 2 years out, then every 6 months until I'm 5 years out.
