Hi
That's the way it usually goes in Canada. I had a 'team' of doctors. I saw a surgeon even though I'd already had the surgury done locally ... I saw a radiation oncologist even though I was told I wouldn't need radiation ... the appts. were very brief. I was told that with a mastectomy you need radiation if you have a lot of node involvement or if the tumour was close to the chest wall.
