Lobular follow up
Greetings All
I completed my treatment for lobular 10 days ago. (12 months later: chemo, mx, recon, rads and now tam). I've had my first annual check up today in the form of a mammogram.
I was wondering what follow-ups anyone else has had. I know that lobular is hard to spot (in my case the first time I went to the docs he felt nothing - 2 weeks later my breast was totally mishapen) and I know that mammos aren't great for finding it, or particularly good for younger women (42).
When I asked my consultant about this she said that because they'd taken an image of it last year and it was normal they have something to compare it to. This makes sense but I'm not totally convinced.
Also - how come they don't test/check for secondaries? I had all of these tests at my initial dx ( all fine) but no mention of checking now. I'd have thought that mets are imp to look for.
Any experiences? I'm seeing my consultant in 2 weeks and am going to ask but interested in other's experiences. If I have to pay I will!
Thanks x
