Lumpectomy and lymph nodes removed last November - will I be getting a follow up at any point?

Hi , I had a lumpectomy and a couple of lymph nodes removed in November last year. 15 sessions 9f radiotherapy and now on Letrizole for 5yrs +. I would just like to ask ,would I be getting some sort of follow up at all? I would like someone to tell me everything is OK.

Thank you 

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    What follow-up care you need usually depends on the individual features of your cancer. Your breast care team should have discussed this with you. But it will most likely include occasional check-ups, and yearly mammograms for 5 years.

    You may find it helpful to get in touch with your breast care team or breast specialist nurse to discuss this further.

    We have information on our website on what may happen at your follow-up appointments. Breast Cancer Now has some further information on this.

    I hope this helps. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
