I hope your friend gets a second opinion. From what limited amount I've been able to read in the past month-and-a-half since my diagnoses, that seems foolish. Plus, between my initial MRI, where my mass (they said it wasn't a solid tumor) measured 6.5cm at the largest dimension and an ultrasound in Houston 2.5 weeks later (for a second opinion), the mass had grown to 8.75cm at it's longest. This was a change that I could see and feel, as it morphed my breast during those two weeks. This is aggressive (and somewhat frightening) and doing anything less than what has proven to work, well, actually, I'm just at a loss for words.
