hi there, my details are infilitrating duct grade 2 20mm and one lymph node 0.8 er pos., pr pos, and her2 neg. Treatment lumpectomy, radiation and tamoxafin. My follow up after a year is yearly with my breast surgeon who will read my yearly mammagram and ultrasound and every 3-5 months with oncologist who will also start to do physical examination. I asked about all these tests everyone else seems to be doing and he brought up screen which indicated physical reviews and mammagram and ultrasound were best practice. This suits me as i think constant blood tests and scans etc might just keep the panic going and really i accept- mostly -there are no gaurantees and for every 'story' about picking up secondaries..there are stories about long lives led. I sometimes see similiarites with pregnancy and i didnt ask for or was offered extra testing for my last baby although i did have a late miscarraigebefore ; just kinda trust the process...
