in Breast Cancer #1

almost 5 yrs ago I had lumpectomy (done by general surgeon) At the time I never knew there was a BREAST surgeon. Right after my surgery the Dr left the area. I had not been seen by a surgeon until Nov suspsicous area in same breast. (thank goodness it was scar tissue, as posted in past)

So now I must see this new surgeon-soon! 6mths check up-will I be seeing him as often as the oncologist? IS he never ending visits as well? I am going for office visit and mammo soon-so I guess I NO longer have them done through oncologist.??? IF YOU can follow me..
