One year post surgery

I had a lumpectomy and one node removed February 2020, node all clear and good margins taken from lumpectomy, then radiation for three weeks. I have an appointment with my oncologist in 2 weeks and saw a surgeon ( not mine, I’m public so whoever was on I suppose) in December. I had to ask him if I was going to need to have a mammogram before seeing the oncologist. Is it normal to have a mammogram one year after surgery? 
follow-up
lumpectomy
mammogram

    Hi, 

    Im private and booked for only mammagram at my one year anniversary. I think if any uncertainty they will ask for ultrasound.

    Some structures can be only seen on mammogram some only on ultrasound. Both should be done whether you are public or private
