From these posts, it looks as though there are people whose doctors are moving them to cystos every 6 months after one year of all clear 3-month check-ups. Or, am I misreading the posts? My doctor does cystos every 3 months for two years, before switching to every 6 months for the next 3 years, then annual after that (assuming all clear all that time). I thought this was the standard. I was unfortunate enough to have a recurrence at exactly the 2-year mark from the initial tumor (low grade, non-invasive), just when I was looking forward to going to check-ups every 6 months. So, as of June 2008 my 2-year clock started all over again, and I'm still on 3-month cystos. (Plus, the BCG protocol for about 3 years.)
