Does anyone have an oncologist recommendation at Mt. Sinai/Dubin Breast Center in NYC? I was diagnosed with ILC and had a lumpectomy/SLNB (7.5cm tumor, partially pleomorphic type, ER+ (>95%), PR+ (70%), HER2- (0), Stage 2B). Prior to surgery, they believed I could do the lumpectomy and then treat with radiation and hormone therapy. Following surgery, where my tumor was revealed to be much larger, they are now recommending chemo. 0/3 lymph node involvement, but 2/3 had ITC...and the size of the tumor concerns them, which is why they're recommending chemo. I am seeking a 2nd opinion, so if anyone here has recommendations of oncologists, ideally at the Dubin Breast Center, I'd be grateful for names. (I am also looking into Tiffany Traina at MSKCC and Ruth Oratz at NYU.) Thank you...

    I'm not very active, at this point, so I didn't your question until just now. I'm so sorry I didn't respond. I assume you've chosen a Dr, by now. I see Dr. Irie at Dubin. She specializes in triple negative. A good friend sees Dr. Tiersten at Dubin. I hope you are making your way through all the decisions and are on you way to a successful treatment.
