So on Wednesday I had my one year post treatment check-up with my oncologist, on May 14 I have the same appointment with my radiation oncologist. At this point I should have been able to go to one year check-ups with the oncologist, but I have some swelling at the base of my neck on the right side (which is the side they took the lymph nodes from under my arm) so I have to go back in 6 months. Nothing tumor feeling just some swelling. I have been working more than usual recently and have had the stomach flu twice to it could just be related to fatigue.
Since I have appointments with the radiation oncologist, my pre-op for surgery, surgery and a mammogram in the next 3 months he felt enough people would be poking at me that 6 months was a good check point.
Moral of the story is.. cancer does not end when treatment does..that is for sure.
Thanks for checking in, I will try to update a little more frequently.
