I think once a month would be good under the circumstances too. Ken is 7 years out from his last ATG, and has been stable for quite a while now, but it's only been within the last year or so that his CBCs have gone to every 2 months instead of monthly. His doctor visits are less frequent.

We've found the doctors quite willing to tailor the schedule to what feels comfortable for us, particularly if there is any reason to monitor it more closely. After all, It's not costing them any extra to test more often!
