If it was two cans low, you have a leak somewhere. You can keep adding freon to it as needed, but eventually it will get enough moisture in there that it won't cool anymore. If you can afford to find the leak and fix it now, you will save money down the road. Moisture in the a/c oil can kill the compressor.

I had the same problem last week. I put freon in and it worked for a while but failed again. I found a leak at the upper hose clamp. A new hose assembly from dealer was $159.00. I had just the hose replaced at a local AC place here in town in about an hour for $40.00. They cut off the metal above the clamp and welded in a completely new hose of better quality than original.
