  • Hi Nina,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am not a doctor, but I had 2 bouts of breast cancer, 14 years ago. I only saw my oncologist once throughout all the time of my treatment. I suspect that the frequency of seeing an oncologist will depend to some extent, on the type of breast cancer and how aggressive it is. it may also become more often if any complications are incurred.

    Kind regards,
