Follow up appointments

Jcolby

I'm curious what schedule others are on for follow up appointments after surgery and radiation. I finished radiation in December 2016. Last time I saw the oncologist was the week before last treatment, and I don't see him again, ever. I have seen a nurse, and will see her one more time in June to check on how I'm doing with meds. Then I won't see her again. She is the one I will call if I need a refill on my hormone therapy meds. I called the surgeon's office and they said if he wanted any follow up appointments he would let me know. Have heard nothing from him. Last time I saw the surgeon, was a week post surgery in October. I'm kind of feeling like they have washed their hands of me. They kept telling me my 2 cm tumor, grade 3, was very, very tiny, a minor inconvenience. My Oncotype dx score was 29, which they said is quite good. Oncologist said he fully expected me to have zero side effects, immediate nor long term. I do have side effects, but nothing life altering. Just the zingers and chest pain. Do I just do follow up with my primary care now?

Joolby, I would encourage you to repost this in an IDC thread, since the IDC "trumps" your DCIS and is the important part of your diagnosis/treatment

I'm so sorry I got this in the wrong place. I will delete if I can figure out how.
