back pain

Hello Mildredthecat

You don't say how long ago you had the lumpectomies and radiotherapy. Could it be that it is a routine follow-up because you haven't been signed-off from your treatments yet? Another possibility is that it is an annual follow-up? I am still having maintenance therapy every three weeks from the oncologists. However, my surgeon told me that I would be recalled for a routine mammograms etc at their clinic one year after the date of my diagnosis. I will not be finished with the oncs by then, but already have the appointment date ahead.

Could you phone to your breast cancer nurse to ask what the appointment is for? It is always the not knowing that messes with our heads. What you know about, you can deal with. Try to find out in advance the purpose of the appointment and maybe think about taking someone with you, if you can [another reason to phone].

Let us know how you get on

All the best
