Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 My SIL just found out that she has breast cancer...the Dr. offered her a biz card/phone # of another doctor that does breast reduction surgery! Can you believe these clowns! here this woman _just_ got news of breast cancer She was not in to see the doctor for back pain or other concerns of having large breasts...That is the weirdest thing I've ever heard. She's had a needle biopsy, and then the " lump " removed, now this week she'll see the Oncologist, and Radiologist to discuss Radiation options. loboshe wrote: > > > > The doctor said she needs to have surgery (DNC). > > > > yes.,.that's how they make money. > > cindi > > The above statement by Cindi is TRUE and is why everyone should do > their own research before following the advice of any one doctor!!! > A surgeon is going to recommend surgery.
