I had my mastectomy at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, had one breast surgeon, and only saw him before and afterwards. He discharged me after 3 years.

My oncologist and chemo treatments were at Mount Sinai Hospital, connected to Princess Margaret. I had the same oncologist from Day 1. Sometimes when I was going for treatments, another oncologist would see me, but I could always ask to see MY oncologist. For all the followups over the years, I have only seen my original onc. He just retired (-:, and he introduced me to my new onc. at my last visit.

all the best
