    How long ago was your surgery, and what stage and grade was your cancer? I had three scans my first year post-op, then two each of the next two years, now I'm at one per year and when I hit five years next year, I may only get scans if my blood work is off or there's some other problem. Mine was stage 1, grade 4.

    You'll get used to the new schedule.

    Yes it is weird how that is good news, less scans but I felt strange about it too. It's a good thing they will still be tracking things!
