Hi @Mic80
Depending on the date of your recon - I would imagine your scans will be 12 months from detection/diagnosis ... so prob in Feb.
My team, once surgery and radiation were completed and Onc meds arranged, organised that I would see one of them approx every 3 months as well as yearly scans. So I see my surgeon in Feb, Rad Onc in May, Onc in Aug, then have my yearly scans (mammogram, and ultrasound and just had mri) in Oct, then I see my Rad Onc again in Nov. I can book in again anytime to see the Onc again if I have issues with the meds. This goes on for 5 years, I believe.
@Nefertari - did you have a breast care nurse? They should be able to arrange your scan appointments ... that is odd that you haven’t had your yearly appts booked already. Grrr
My Rad Onc has been the most Pro-active of my team with my regular scan appointments!
