WHAT NOW?

I'm sorry moderators if this isn't the place for this post! If it needs to be moved I apologize for the inconvenience!

I just finished rads a week ago. I had a lumpectomy in early May, no nodes involved, highly er pr positive, no chemo. Because the tumor was .5 cm and for other reasons I guess, two different oncs said I didn't even need to do oncotype testing. It's weird bc I still kind of want to know my score but they both said it wasn't necessary. I'm being treated in NYC at a large well known hospital that is not MSK.

I'm seeing my onc next week to start tamoxifen. I'm wondering about follow ups. And monitoring

How long after you finished rads did you have your first mammo? Was it just a mammo? If not what else?

How often do you see your onc, breast surgeon and rads onc?

Who do you see after imagingto go over images?

Who schedules/recommends type of imaging?

Who do you call or see if you have problems pain questions?

I guess I'm not sure how actively involved the BS is involved after surgery. Is your MO the go to?

My BS office told me I'm not having a mammo until 1 year after (April 2016). This seems very strange to me. And very scary. Would the MO have a different opinion and would she overrule the BS? I'm not sure how all these pieces and Drs fit together!

Many thanks and hang in there for all still doing rads!!
