Hello @optimist1591 and welcome to Mayo Connect. You are asking some good questions and I see that @markymarkfl has already provided you with some great information.

In your post you said, "Am I over-reacting?" Please know that advocating for the best health care possible is simply a wise decision.

Will you continue to post with updates as to how you are progressing?

@hopeful33250 Thank you. My primary care assured me yesterday that the protocols for this are quite well established, but he encouraged me to get a second opinion, which I am. My husband researched several articles from NIH and Sloane-Kettering that address follow-up care, which are rather long, but well documented. I have the specific question in to my gastro MD about whether protocols change given a prior cancer history. So I continue to seek out information because as we all know, we are our own best advocates. I appreciate access to this forum and the additional guidance. Thanks to all and best wishes to all.
