I want my slides to be looked at by the Dr who is known for his DCIS work....I can't remember his name.  I know he's in Ca.  Thanks,

    Michael Lagios is the pathologist, Mel Silverstein is the surgeon.  I'm assuming you mean Lagios, so here's his website/contact info:  http://www.breastcancerconsultdr.com/

    If you mean Silverstein, he's at the Hoag Breast Care Center in Newport Beach (part of Hoag Hospital).  You can find his contact info through the center's website.

    Thank you Sweaty!  Yes, I  meant the pathologist.  Have you used him?  Anyone have any thoughts on him?  Just wanted to get a second opinion from my mast.  Just to be extra sure.  Looking at rads now.

    thanks,

    I thought about it for a while, but decided not to spend the extra money or deal with any more Dr consults.  Three Drs all agreed on my biopsy path, so I know what I'm dealing with - and when all is said and done I'm more comfortable doing rads than not, and at least trying Tamoxifen to see how I handle it.  (I think I'm a recurrence waiting to happen, and I want to throw everything possible at it.)  I guess the only reason would be to make sure there really was no evidence of invasion after definitive surgery, but I'll just trust the path report I have.

    Swalters is a big fan of his, she's consulted with him.

    I also came very, very close to getting on a plane to see Silverstein before my surgery, but for various reasons that didn't happen.  I did email him though.

    Mom,

    Yes I am a big fan of Dr. Lagios. I consulted with him several times. I can not say enough good things about him.

    PM me if you have specific questions about him.

    Best wishes,

    Sandie
