Invasive ductile breast cancer: What should I expect?

That is about all I saw of my surgeon, 'tho' we had about 20 minutes for the decision of best process the first time we met. And she did call me the day after to see how I was doing. But I don't think the surgeons are to have much interactions. This was at Mayo. The rest of the care and the compassion is to come from your oncologist and the rest of the team... This is how I understand the process. Do you have a good care team with an Oncologist now? They should provide the ongoing care and any of your concerns... At least that is my understanding and the way it was with me.

Yes, oncologist is great. I was simply spoiled from assorted previous orthopedic surgeries where the surgeon took the time to a) have a brief talk immediately before surgery, and b) be around for post-operative comments once I was “awake”. But then, perhaps knee replacement rates higher than lumpectomy on the seriousness scale.
