Re: when did you 'break up' with your onco?
My oncologist released me this year, 6 yrs after dx. She said that some people need the extra reassurance and need to keep coming back but that she didn't feel that I needed that and it was my decision if I wanted to return to her or not. I choose to NEVER return to her (although I love her dearly). This was my last dangling string with cancer and I just wanted it all behind me. I love it when my ob and primary doctors refer to it as has a history of breast cancer instead of treating for breast cancer. Its like all those other decisions we need to make thru this journey, its a personal decision. I have no regrets so far, hopeful;;y it will stay that way.
