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 Paula - amazing how different states and doctors work differently. Like you, I will not be having hormone treatment as my DCIS was in-situ and non invasive. On reflection (after a good night's sleep) I realise that it is probably unnecessary that I see my radiation oncologist especially as I have healed so well (other than a tightness under my arm where I blistered) but hopefully my breast surgeon will monitor me for the next couple of years - we will see. It will be reassuring to at least see someone other than my local GP
