I agree that a virtual appointment would leave me feeling even more alone than I feel now. Somehow it seems like just listening to my heart and lungs is such a minimal checkup, but at least we are in the same room! I am 18 months out from my surgery, and seeing my oncologist every three months with a Zometta infusion every six months (my 3rd infusion is in three weeks, and then there'll be one more next fall.) My oncologist said the Zometta will reduce the chance of a return cancer by 1%--!!--but I'll be glad to take any lower risk, however small!
