Follow-up care for non invasive DCIS after treatment and radiotherapy
Does anyone know what the follow-up is for non-invasive DCIS? Saw my radiotherapy oncologist today for my post 6 week follow-up and was stunned (speechless) when he told me he didn't need to see me ...

I had a different response: I have an appt for a years time but wonder the value of this and oncologist said its a 'bit old school' and has no use - appt would be to look at breast and talk and there are no complications so I would prefer yearly appts with breast surgeon (private) who reads my mammagrams and ultra sounds and does examination and I see my oncologist 2-3 times per year. The six weekly appt was nice as a final appt or to review but I can't see value for me in any more appts : although nice to be told breasts look good I guess!
