Unhappy Microcalifications

In 1994 I had microcalsifications removed from left breast, B9. Surgeon stated no cancer and the cals were removed sucessfully. In 6/05 during a routine mamo and ultrasound breast cancer was confirmed in same breast. Lumpectomy in 7/05 for 1.5cm and .4cm tumors, neg sentinal nodes. Both masses were ER-Pr-and Her2+++. I was treated with 4 cycles of A/C followed by Taxol (12) and Herceptin to equal 1 year. Scheduled to finish in December 2006 if Muga stays in the 50 range. Rads = 30.
I am due to see breast surgeon tomorrow for 1 year follow up and my 1st mamo since dx. Was wondering what questions I should be asking and what type of follow-up I should be having. My onc doesn't believe in doing tumor markers or rountine scans. Fearful of recurrance or mets since it appears there are many stage 1 individuals with Her2+++ that seem to progress to Stage IV.
Also does anyone have info about microcals? I was nieve 10 years ago and didn't think anything of it but now and wondering if it was pre-cancer. Maybe I should have been followed more aggressively than having yearly mamos. I have a history of bc in the family. Maternal grandmo dx post menopausal and mother dx post memopausal with stage 1 then after 13 years mets to bone, died age 65.
Thanks for any info.
