Surgeon's Follow up Visits????

[tousled1]

I saw my surgeon a few times after my surgery - drainage tubes removed, staples removed and 2 visits to have excess fluid removed. I will be seeing her every 3 months for a year then every 6 months for a year and after that once a year. She works very closely with my surgeon. Also I went to the surgeon's office to get fitted with my prothesis'. I really like my surgeon and don't mind seeing her at all.

I saw my surgeon every 6 months till a year and a half post surgery,then I didn't have to go back for a year. I see the rad onc every 6 months still, and the onc when I had treatments. I go for a check-up on Wednesday next week and have been done with herceptin since June. don't know how often he will have me come back.

At the mhor N cancer center where I am being treated the surgeon is the lead doc for the first five years - she is in charg of my breats while the onc is i in charge of the rest of my body even though I am stage 1 .
see her every thre months first year and the every six after that when i go for the MRI and mamo/sono - works really well and if i hve any questions or concerns i can always e-mail or call her. She is also the one who gives me the news about MRI or mamo/sono.
