What happens at a DCIS follow-up appointment?
Community Member
a year agoDx DCIS grade 3 with cancerization of the lobules, had lumpectomy and finished radiation 12/5. What do they usually do at your follow up appointment 4 months later?
Accepted Answer
Follow-up appointments after DCIS treatment typically include a physical exam, discussion of any symptoms or concerns, and planning for ongoing surveillance which may include imaging studies. Many patients find it helpful to write down questions beforehand and bring a list of any new symptoms or changes they've noticed since completing treatment. What questions are you hoping to discuss with your care team at your upcoming appointment?
