Hi, after a bilateral masectomy how are you monitored to see if it comes back?

I see my Oncologist every 3 months and my Surgeon every three to four months. They do exams and blood work. I constantly do self exams.

I have been very lucky in that my onc has scheduled scans about every two years so that if there is anything, it will be caught early. I do monitor along my scar line for any changes. Good luck!

Physical exams by doctors. Self exams.
