HI Suzie
I went through Westmead Breast Cancer Institute as my local Surgeon wouldn't do double mastectomy... with TNBC they keep you on review books for 5 years then you are released from their list. IF hormone based they keep you on review longer.
basically my GP orders bloods etc and Ultrasound as I have no boobs then, I do a 6+ hour round trip to Westmead and see one of the team... for about a 5 minute appointment they ask if I have any concerns check my chest wall and examine my chest/underarm area etc read my results from bloods and ultrasound and then say ok if you are happy see you in a year.... I do see my medical Oncologist here in Bathurst NSW every 12months he will continue to do that until he is happy there is no recurrence.
