Title says it all.

I need a second opinion and I'm looking for a really great doctor who can confirm that it's breast cancer. I'm not happy with the physician I used, so I just really want to be sure before I do anything drastic.

Does anyone have any good recommendations?

I had a gynecological cancer. The lab made the determination. I was referred to what was then Blumenthal & is now Levine cancer center, for the surgery. Do you want another biopsy or do you just not care for the doctor?

I just always want a second opinion when it comes to very serious diagnosis. I don't feel like a lot of precision and care was given and I want to be sure I'm making the right choice before I proceed with more treatments.

Was it 'staged'? There are 5 stages, which stage did they say it is? Did a general surgeon do the biopsy, or did you have an oncologist? I am a 26 yr. survivor ... I understand totally. DM me, I can give you more info privately.

I don't know, but, Breastcancer.org - Breast Cancer Information and Awareness has wonderful forums to learn and get support. I'm 10 years out from 3b BC and it is beatable. All the best.
