My wife was diagnosed with bc in May 05 we went to UCLA for a second opinion, and are fortunate that the Revlon Breast Center at UCLA in rated #1 on the west Coast and # 8 in the US. Our Doctor re read the Biopsy that was done in our local town and the margins were clear the tumor was about .7-.9 cm. My wife had a sentinal node biopsy done on Frinday and we are waiting the results. The surgeon is one of the top in her field. Our original surgeon wanted a partial or total masectomy. At UCLA we had an MRI, Ultrasound and a couple of high res mamograms done. And if the biopsy comes back normal then a few radiation therapies and were done.....Its so important if possible to go to a world class treatment center......I really feel empathty for those who can't go to a real treatment center, or those who have no insurance. Cancer is ugly, I also lost my Mon when I was eight to cancer..........
