I had a follow up appointment a month after surgery with the oncologist and no treatment was prescribed. Other than a brief conversation about the biomarker test which is when she mentioned she talked to the surgeon about it, the remaining talk was about which stage I was. Very brief appointment. I did not get a postoperative follow up with my surgeon as he also works from a different state and was there at the time. Follow up was with the PA surgical assistant which was a little disappointing since I did have some questions specifically for him. So for now I guess it’s the wait and see approach. I have a 6 month CT scan in March and a appointment with the surgeon to go over it. I am considering a different oncologist as I don’t feel like they are very informative. I guess I just wonder why if you have a biomarker mutation they don’t treat with medication to reduce or get rid of other lesions that could possibly become cancerous and need surgery or radiation. I might be over thinking this but will definitely ask my new oncologist. I think your right that they don’t want to over treat too.
