Re: 9 year Anniversary
Congrats on being 9 years out Vicki.
I am 7 1/2 years out - My original onc. discharged me in July 2012, when I finished my 5 years of anti-estrogens (2 1/2 years Tamoxifen, 2 1/2 years Femara. At that time I was almost 6 years out.)
I was given the choice of just seeing my regular GP, or being seen at a new clinic for post cancer survivors at Women's College Hospital in downtown Toronto, about 10 minutes from the hospital where I had my chemo and Herceptin treatments. I would be seen yearly by an oncologist, not sure yet for how many years, but I decided to go with that option. Love my new onc., have my mammograms there now, and she arranged for me to have a colonoscopy (strictly routine) at the same hospital, just to have all my records in one place.
all the best
caya
