Cancer facility recommendations please

momtobac · March 2012

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with DCIS in situ stage 0 and am awaiting a bilateral MRI and my BRAC 2 analysis results. I am in the NJ area and would love to hear from women in the area where they went for treatment, would they recommend the facilities, the doctors, oncologists, etc? I want to get a second opinion and perhaps get my surgery done in New York City. I am specifically looking at Sloan and Mt. Sinai... Any help would be appreciated! I am feeling a little overwhelmed. Thanks in advance.

I have had TNBC twice in the past 9 years and was treated at Sloan-Kettering both times (surgery and chemo) and think they are excellent. My breast surgeon is Dr. Alexandra Heerdt and she's the best. My onologist is Dr. Mark Robson and he's wonderful as well. The first time I had a lumpectomy followed by chemo and radiation and this time I had a BMX and more chemo. I had a tough time with chemo on this last go-round but treatment at MSK made things as smooth as possible. I highly recommend the facility and its physicans and you really can't go wrong if you choose to go there. Hope this has been helpful. Good luck to you.
