Hi Lolly, I see my surgeon once a year and my onc once a year, so I see one of them every 6 months. They both examine my breasts, armpits, collar bone, lungs and liver, but I understand that most problems are found by us the patients.
HueyL, I am checked on a six monthly basis, firstly with the surgeon who ensures that I have had a mammogram and then following on from this I see my oncologist who also examines me, breast, under arm neck collarbone etc. I feel they are doing their best to look after me.
My onc has never examined me! I see my surgeon as my primary carer and he does that. I discuss medication (letrazole) with my onc and side effects. If he can help with those he does! I'm wondering now if I should ask my onc to check me over, the more checks, the better, in my opinion!
