Hospital recommendation

sylvia_pr · January 2009

In December 10 I had a breast, left mass, wire guided biopsy with a final diagnosis of invasive lobular carcinoma, classic type of 0.5 cm in greattst dimension. I am waiting for the results of the progesterone and estrogen receptor test and recently done, the result of the lymph nodes removed. After I receive these results, I plan to ask for an appointment at Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York. As I read, it is one of the best hospitals in the area of breast cancer.

I'll appreciate it if I can hear from people who has had surgery or treatment at this hospital, and if possible recommendation on doctors. I'm from Puerto Rico, but willing to travel.

Thank you and happyn New Year to all.

I have read some things about Sloan Kettering in NY....why don't you do a search on it here and see what people have to say.

The search button is at the top of the page next to community rules. The other day I was reading some posts on it but can't remember where it was at.

You might also try the University of Pennsylvania Hospital in Philly and Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Good luck.

Thank you. I did my search and found information I was looking for. I already called Sloan for an appointment I'm in the process of sending reports of biopsies I have already done.

I'm new at this site, I got the address from an article published in one of our local newspapers in Puerto Rico where they mentioned this Web site. Wish me luck.
