Re: Follow up guidelines...

Hi Rhonda ~
I am a little further out so here is what has happened with me. I was released by my surgeon at 5 year mark, never went back to rad. doc because my Onc. was seeing me for a time every week after radiation until Herceptin was done and then I was seeing Onc. every 3 months. I'm surprised you are still seeing him! I will see my Onc. for a much longer time...he won't give me release date :0...although my stats make him want to keep a good eye on me. I'll see him once a year forever.
I think you should see gyno and Onc. once a year....split them 6 months apart at the very least!
Hugs ~ Ruth
Oh yeah I forgot about the PS...I'll see him once a year too.
