Thanks for all your replies, am still shocked that the Oncologist has cut me loose! I will speak to my breast care nurse when she gets back from annual leave to see what she thinks. If my current Oncologist says that I am done, then I will look around perhaps for another one, as you suggested. I will probably need to go private for that as opposed to the NHS. I will be on tamoxifen until 2015 so assumed I would carry on seeing the Onc until that point. Emma x
