Sick people out there: do you go without routine tests?

In my case, I see a gyn/onc every 3 months instead of having annual gyn exams. She definitely thouroughly checks out my cervix (where I had cancer) but she doesn't do other stuff like the breast exam and STD testing.

I guess I could ask her to do those, but I feel like I'm wasting her time with that. I could go to a different doctor, but the thought of yet another person (or 2 people probably) seeing me naked and sticking things in me makes me upset.

Anyone else in a similar boat as me?
