Congratulations on being 4.4 years cancer-free! That's a wonderful milestone to celebrate!

For the first five years after treatment, follow-up care is typically more frequent. The standard schedule includes visits every 3-6 months during the first three years, then every 6-12 months for the next two years. After the five-year mark, most people transition to annual physical exams. If you had early-stage breast cancer with a tumor less than 5 centimeters and fewer than four lymph nodes involved, you may have the option to transfer your follow-up care to your primary care provider instead of continuing with your oncologist.

Your specific follow-up schedule may vary based on your cancer type, stage, and treatment history. It's best to discuss your long-term care plan with your oncologist to determine the most appropriate schedule for your situation.
