What type of yearly checkup do you have?

These posts have been helpful to me. I had ilc 18 months ago followed by a lumpectomy and radiation. I declined an aromatase inhibitor as I was worried about the side effects, plus I have osteopenia. I now feel adrift with no f/u with an oncologist, and my next wellness check with pcp isn’t until June. I haven’t seen anyone since April. It’s very difficult to see a doctor here anyway. Thank you for the posts to help me realize I should be getting some kind of follow up.

@tanzdame for what it's worth, I am 72 & have osteoporosis & following lumpectomy & 5 days of radiation, will be starting soon with half dose of Tamoxifen (10 mg) which will protect my bones & hopefully have fewer side effects, fingers crossed!
