Can anyone tell me specifically what happens at your 8 day follow up appointment after dcis lumpectomy? (I think I have some internal stitches and external that dissolve). How do they pull off bandage, what do they discuss next, etc...?


thx.

    I think mostly check to see you’re healing okay. Probably also lift restrictions you had. What is your dx? And what is your next phase of treatment? I had a RO after my DCIS who I’d already had an appt with pre-surgery. For my IDC I also had an MO. I believe there was a second follow-up with the BS after several more weeks and then you’re really done with that part.
