Hi All,

I was wondering what is your Dr's protocol for follow-up blood work testing? For a stage 1 breast cancer with lumpectomy, chemo and rads, how often is your dr. ordering blood work?

I am actually asking this question for someone else who is concerned her dr isn't doing enough.

Thanks all and continued good health and peace to you.

This year was 10 years post dx for me and hve just gone to one year check ups with my onco. He has been doing blood work every 6 months for ten years and now will be once a year.
