When to go for post follow up mamo

[Guest guest]

I had my 6 month post op check-up with the surgeon. He said everything

healed nicely from the radiation and lumpectomy (no chemo) and told me

that I don't have to get a follow-up mamo until next October- which

would be a year from the last mamo and surgery. I was quite surprised.

I am on tamoxifen now- with no side effects so far. (I had non-invasive

DCIS) How long did you wait for post follow-up mamo's? Just curious.

Meanwhile, I am home with a sinus infection and feeling worse than I

did from the lumptectomy. When I was at the surgeon, he wouldn't even

check to see if I had an infection, since I started feeling crappy

earlier in the day. I had to go to my primary care doctor and wait

again in another doctor's office. The surgeon told me that he couldn't

diagnoise me. I was quite annoyed.

Also-nne- sorry to hear about the passing of your friend.

((((Hugs)))))

Hi Eileen,

I had a left mastectomy and a 6-month follow-up mammo on my right side,

then in 6 months I had my annual. After that they said I was back to an

annual mammo schedule.

I'm not surprised your surgeon sent you to your primary for your sinus.

I have 3 doctors (primary, surgeon, onc), and it's pretty clear who

handles what.

Eileen,

I had infiltrating ductal carcinoma with one bad node, Stage II. I had follow up

mammos every 6 mo for the first two years.

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. You are in my prayers.

Hugs
