Cucho- thank you- it's so great to see that there is a specific program for young breast ca patients. Unfortunately I am in the Philadelphia area so Boston is a bit far. Have you had your treatments there?

A bit late, but I second Ann Partridge. I'm in NJ but she was my second opinion doctor. She's absolutely amazing, and remained available to talk on phone/email after our consultation. I highly recommend taking a trip up there for a second opinion.

Also, Dana Farber seems fantastic. I had total hospital envy!
