    Hi Melissa,

    I was also diagnosed in January, at age 44.  I had a lumpectomy, four rounds of chemo (TC), and will finish my last (33rd) radiation treatment today.  I will see my onc next month, and he also just recommends bloodwork unless there are symptoms that indicate a scan is needed.  It's kind of scary thinking about being done with treatment and not taking any further drugs, but I guess we just need to have faith that the treatment has worked.  A book that I'm reading that has really helped is "After Breast Cancer:  A Common-Sense Guide to Life After Treatment" by Hester Hill Schnipper.
