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 ...

Thanks Chris - it is exactly what I thought but I guess as I am non invasive my radiotherapy oncologist thought is was unnecessary to see him again as I have recovered well and that I have an appointment to see my breast surgeon in September.   I am a private patient with both.  It was just a bit of a shock.  As my husband said, if my DCIS occurred in the same manner it can only be detected by mammogram anyway!  He's so reassuring ;)  

Thanks for your thoughts.
