What is the "correct" time frame
for getting a mamo. after surgery, treatment, etc.
I have yet to have one on side remaining, but have had lots of MRIs (full body) throughout the time. And they were always clear!
Still on herceptin for now.
Have tumor marker tests every 9 weeks before seeing onc. I had one last time in prep. for seeing him on Aug. 6. I'm working on my list of questions to ask, cause I'm thinking I won't be seeing him nearly so often anymore. Maybe I'm just doing some wishful thinking! ma
