I saw the Rad onc 1 month post radiation and that was it. He released me from his care. I see my breast surgeon every 3 months and once I am finished with herceptin, I will see my Med onc every three months.


Janet, my surgeon wouldn't allow me to have a mammogram at my Feb visit, said I still had swelling from radiation. I finished rads the end of Oct '06. He said the compression from the plates would cause more swelling and be painful. He scheduled an MRI instead.
