Discharged from being followed for cancer

Hi @laurie22, at the 5 year mark, it is quite common for surveillance and annunal check-ups to be turned over to a primary care physician. With the higher risk of HPV-related cancers, I can understand your concern of no longer being in the care of a cancer specialist. It sounds like you are strong in advocating for continued annual monitoring. Does you PCP agree and support your diligence?

Thanks for the response. I will find out about ongoing support when I see my new one in a couple of months.
