My surgeon sent my to a good oncologist to get on tamoixfin. He said to me have your gyn give you refills because I don't have to see you anymore because your cancer is the type that there is a 99% survival rate. I have non invasive cancer. With calcifactions that are malignant. They also found that I have atypical hyperplasia. I had a lumpetomy and radiation. Do you think I should be watched by a oncologist or not?

When it comes to your health and in this case cancer, no should never be good enough. I'd get a second opinion and even a third until you find a doctor who is willing to take your health seriously.

Good news. After the surgeon the oncologist is the next step. A good person to see too. He will not only take you through the rest of your treatment but will check you out for future problems. This helps ease your mind. I had breast cancer too & am now free. The oncologist was great.

Ask the oncologist so you can feel like you have it from the source. My sister is dealing with breast cancer right now, and what the doctor has told you seems reasonable, but the oncologist should be able to confirm it for you. Second opinion can't hurt either..

I think you need to look for natural alternatives to chemotherapy if you want to get past this without getting sucked into the toximolecular machine!
Until recently, ductal carcinoma in situ was a relatively uncommon disease, representing only about 1% of all newly diagnosed cases of breast cancer.1 It was usually regarded as a single disease with a single treatment, namely, mastectomy. Most patients presenting with ductal carcinoma in situ had symptoms a palpable mass or discharge from the nipple. During the past decade, as mammography has become more widely used and technically better, the number of new cases has increased dramatically. Most patients now present with lesions that are not palpable and are clinically occult
You need to go to www.vitasearch.com and search out the natural remedies that have been used for breast cancer, or to www.pubmed.com which has 15 million biomedical citations, which cover studies like the one done on tumeric which causes apoptosis in breast cancer cells - in fact there are dozens of studies like these which for some criminal reason you will never hear from a doctor, or the diseasestablishment at large.
good luck!

It sounds as if you have been given a clean bill of health following your treatment. If you fell more comfortable seeing an oncologist for followup do it. If the doctor treating you refuses then seek out a referral to another oncologist from your surgeon or ob/gyn.

Get a second opinion. It will make you feel better and not all oncologist are equal. Some are less then equal.

You did not have invasive cancer. All you need is to be followed with regular breast exams and mammograms and continue medication.
