It's great to hear that you got good results after your surgery! Based on the knowledge base:

- Follow-Up Care: You will have regular follow-ups with your doctor for the first five years after breast cancer treatment, usually once every three to 12 months

It's great to hear that you got good results after your surgery! Based on the knowledge base:

- Follow-Up Care: You will have regular follow-ups with your doctor for the first five years after breast cancer treatment, usually once every three to 12 months.
- Adjuvant Therapy: Some people benefit from continued drug therapy, often referred to as adjuvant therapy. For hormone receptor-positive breast cancers, this might include hormone therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence.
- Duration: These medications are often taken for at least five years, and in some cases, up to 10 years.

It's important to discuss your specific treatment plan with your radiologist and oncologist to understand the best course of action for your situation.

Hi Anne,
Congratulations on good surgery result!🎉🥳
I had good results too but saw oncologist - don’t remember if it was because my oncotype score came out high.. but I saw her, had 4 sessions of chemo and now on meds for at least 5 years also. Hope you’re not experiencing too much side effects from the meds!🙏
