I broke up with my oncologist today.

Thanks @Tinks  I was up at the hospital today for my mammo/ultrasound and they've switched to Qld Xray and said I can go to the one nearest to my home next time.  The lady who did it today said she works at the local one to me too! :smile:

@Mira congratulations on your news!  Unfortunately most Breastscreen services are temporarily closed, if not all now...🤔

Thanks shs14, it feels great :smile:

What a wonderful post to read! Congratulations  :)

Thanks @iserbrown , I wonder if I have to see my GP for the physical exam or the breast clinic.  I have my mammo booked for a couple of weeks time (fingers crossed I can still go), so I expect the breast clinic appointment will be soon after.

@Mira from Breastscreen Victoria

If you have had a previous diagnosis of breast cancer

@Caz1 Mine was fairly straight forward I think.  A lumpectomy/no node involvement, radiation and hormone tablets.  There was one node last year that was a bit iffy and they had trouble testing, but they said it was negative.  

It does feel weird.  I didn't mind going in to the hospital for my checkups, they were all such lovely people. I still have to go in for my mammo & breast clinic appointments, but the oncologist said she'd discharge me to Breastscreen for future mammos (from next year).  I thought Breastscreen didn't do it if we have a history of bc, so I don't know!

Congratulations lovely!!!! Must feel weird!
Is there really no follow up after five years?! ( I’m at the beginning of my journey compared to you )
I binned my chemo appointment cards. Don’t want to be reminded, that’s just me...onwards I go!

Thanks @Dory65 I saw mine for 5 years, it's a good feeling :smile:

Congratulations! <3  I can't wait to break up with mine, and we've only been dating four months.
