Re: Follow up guidelines...
This summer I saw my rad. onc. for the last time. I asked to be released and he agreed. My surgeon I only saw at the beginning - maybe a few times the first year. She gave me the option of continuing to see her and my regular onc. - alternating between the two or only seeing my regular onc. I chose just seeing my regular onc. as I didn't feel there really was any reason to see her also.
My regular onc. told me at my last visit that I would probably be released at 5 years. Then after looking over my chart said...."well, we could go 5 years from when herceptin ended." I will be at my 5 year mark from diagnosis in June of 10. I will be at my 5 year mark from when herceptin ended in Oct. 2011. I think I will continue until then. For now he sees me every 6 months and I also have blood work.
