My Oncologist never even looks at my breast. He just pushes on my stomach, thumbs a few things and listens to my heart and lungs. I have been seeing him every 3 weeks now for over 3 years so he would probably be very bored with looking at my breasts by now anyway. He only checked my breasts a couple of times when I had questions about scar tissue and when the shingles broke out. Otherwise, he refers me to my breast surgeon every 6 months for a check up. ...sherryg683
