Our team of physicians at the BCC have designed a follow-up program to meet the needs of all patients who are a year out from their cancer diagnosis, who are at high risk for breast cancer and have had a year of stable exams, or who have been treated for other related breast problems. Our program allows us to develop better ways to get information to you and to learn more about what happens to each of you. Please click here for more information about the program.
