Yesterday I had my post treatment meeting with my oncologist. He said he was pleased that despite having no spleen ( I had it removed when I was 16) I had managed to fight off any chance of infection surprisingly well. He asked me how the radiotherapy went. (I had to go to Glasgow Beatson's cancer centre for that) and I told him physically it wasno problem but psychologically I foundit hard as it seemed like I had become an animal being treated by well meaning vets rather than a patient involved in my own treatment. I realised this was due to the NHS having to treat a myriad of different cancers as cost effectively as possible but it is the least pateient friendly bit.

 

He told me that after the 6 FEC chemo and the 15 rads that was my treatment finished and I should never have to see him again! I already have an apointment to see the breast surgeon in September a year after my mastectomy and will have mamograms every 2 years after that.

 

He had a look at my scar and said it looked a little red but seemed good. He then said any more tests were pointless as they rarely proved anything so as long as I stayed healthy it was goodbye from him!

 

I asked him about vitamin D and he agreed it would be good and suggested cod liver oil. Then he finished off by suggesting the most important action I can take is to lose weight. So that's my experience of TNBC in Central Scotland.
