I had a mammo at the end of the first year of diagnosis....after my treatments were finished. I see my onc every two months and he examines me fully from the waist up each time. I get blood work taken before each visit including tumor marker. I have a brain scan every three months and a gated heart scan every 2 months....my heart has been an issue. I had a 1 cm tumor in my supraclavicular node which my onc found via physical exam and I certainly would be concerned if I were you. My onc commented at the time that it was his experience that caused him to find it where my surgeon and radiation onc had missed it. See another onc....go to emergency if necessary but if it concerns you check it out....trust yourself.
