I was recently diagnosed and saw a breast surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering.  I would want a second opinion or to be followed by another surgeon at that hospital.   Once you've been seen at MSK, is it possible to see someone else there.

    Legend has it that it is difficult to switch physicians at MSK (I'm treated there), but I believe it is possible. I would imagine that you call the other surgeon's office and get an appointment directly with them. You are not too far into the process, so it seems possible.  I, ultimately, never needed plastic surgery, but I was not happy with that consult and would have sought out some one else. I was very happy with my surgeon, so if you want to PM me, I'll give you that information.
