I'm still at the beginning of this and going a mix of private and public but as I understand it, my surgeon will continue to manage and co-ordinate. At the moment I'm doing chemo so seeing the onc before every dose. Then, there'll also be a radiation onc after that. At some stage, I believe that I will be seeing the surgeon and onc each every 6 months but they'll stagger it so I see one of them every 3 months - don't know how long that'll go for. I've never heard any talk of a breast physician - it sounds made up. I would be sceptical about the motives behind it, too - although I do tend to look for the catch first. It may be a perfectly legitimate way of introducing a sort of specialist-generalist into the picture - just caught up in newspeak.
