he NEVER wants to see me again! YEAH!

He is sending report to my PA and want her to see me every 6 months - no problem at all and wants yearly mammos (for the 'one' that is still there) sent to him! So now 2 Doctors have told me they never want to see me again (my Rad Dr and now my Surgeon). I see my Chemo Dr in July or Aug (don't remember exactly the date). My PA is fantastic - she's been there for me for many years - she was staff at the Retreat I was at this weekend.

    Congratulations!
    What a milestone! My surgeon says he'll see me for several years, onc. too. BUt I think the rads expert will probably let me go next month. I never knew my calendar could get so full with docs. Really glad I like them all.

    Hope you're going to party hearty! ALways celebrate the milestones.

    I'm roughly 1 1/2 yrs post surgery. The last time I saw Chemo Dr he said he wanted to see me again in 6 mths and then we'd go to annual.

    Fantastic Retreat
    AND Sweat Lodge to start it! These are always intense Retreats but so much growth is gained (IF you choose to).

    Chemo Dr. every 6 months
    Chemo Dr. every 6 months now. Last time I saw him, he said that we'd go to yearly after the next one.

    My PA is fantastic - I can get ahold of her easy and either talk to her or get in FAST if needed.

    What a relief
    It's gotta be a relief that you don't need to have a long term commitment to these folks even if it did save your life.

    that's good news! I see my radiologist in November and that might be the last one. I'll see onc every 3 months for now and then every 6 months afterwards. I see my surgeon in June and will have minor reconstruction on sides of body so will most likely have a couple of appts afterwards. It gets better I'm sure with time.
