Thanks Mona63 for your post. And yes, you're right, now I have had time to sit and think about it, a further appointment really is not useful unless there are complications it was just the thought of being "cut loose" after 6 weeks after my radiotherapy has been completed. In the Australian guidelines for early breast cancer (DCIS) it does mention a follow-up schedule but is also mentions that some patients would be under GP care but this would be discussed with the patient! Be interesting to see if my Breast Surgeon hands me over into the care of my GP after my next appointment. (Will I be told this is happening or will I be consulted!!!) Hopefully, like you, he will continue to see me on an annual basis for a year or two.
Thanks again for your comment which helped me put things into perspective.
