I had my regular check up today (palpating and nasoscope) with my very thorough and attentive surgeon, and all was well. However, I’m just a bit puzzled as to why I’m still on two-monthly checks coming up to two years post treatment. I reported feeling absolutely fine and having no major issues and was told that it all ‘looked lovely’ in there. I’ll now get a phone consultation in two months and a face to face two months after that. My team have always been very honest with me and have my absolute trust, but it’s bugging me a bit as people in here seem to go down to just three monthly checks in year 2. Or maybe I should just be grateful that they are being so thorough by seeing me more frequently? Or maybe different hospitals have different protocols?
I had every six weeks for six months then two months in first two years. That went up to every three months in the third year now I’m every six months. I’m shared between Maxfac and oncology. So I see Maxfac once more and oncologist twice then I’m done. All my transitions have been a couple of months late
I wouldn’t read anything into the way you are monitored.
