Hi Fifi, Once you move onto the "oncology" phase of your journey, you will only need to touch base with your surgeon to check up on scar progress and that will drop off..your main contact moving forward is the oncologist and the oncology nurses for ongoing care. Your surgeon has done his job, now you can move forward onto the next phase and your oncologist can give you a better idea of what, in their opinion, should be the next step going forward. Hang in there and feel free to vent here when you need to!!
