@dewz13 You don't need to "hope." Let him know you are comfortable and would like having quarterly blood tests. He should either call you at least 1-2x a year to discuss things or at the least send you his comments on your blood tests. Quarterly, my doc always asks me a series of questions: Have you lost weight, does your skin really itch, do you get night sweats where you really, really, sweat, do you get full after eating just a tiny bit, etc. Best of luck.
