Hello ladies - I am a long-time member, but have not posted much in the last few years as I have been NED. Sadly, as I approach my five year cancerversary, that has changed, and I now have extensive bone mets. I have an MO, but am thinking I may want a second opinion once we complete the further scan/biopsy/treatment recommendation process. Can anyone recommend an MO in Chicago or the Chicago area that is experienced with ILC? Thank you in advance for your help!

    Try my MO, Teresa Murray Law, at Evanston Hospital. Also her colleague Dr. Merkel (though I hear his bedside manner needs work, he is excellent). My husband’s fellow U of I resident back in the day, Kathy Albain at Loyola, is nationally-renowned (she consulted in the development of OncotypeDX). And though she may be rather brusque, Melody Cobleigh at Rush is also top-notch. The latter two made Chicago Magazine’s Top Doctors list for oncology.

    I've had some contact with a Dr. John Knaus. He's in the Morton Grove area. He's the brother of a dr. I have here in Oregon (not an Oncologist), but John is a Gynocological Oncologist. He's extremely knowledgable and would see him, if local. May anyway at some point. He's on top of the latest research on Lobular cancer
