Once chest surgery is completed there is no longer any need for mammography's correct? I just keep getting the notices and thought before I call and ask them to take me off the list I would double check!

I was told by my primary care physician and also by a surgeon who specialized in mastectomies (she did some basic post-op care for me since my surgeon was in Canada) that a mammogram isn't an option (for obvious reasons) but that I should still receive manual check-ups along with ultrasound.

Even with this type of surgery, we are still left with breast tissue.
