Linda,

I am not sure who is in charge of your mother's treatment. My radiologist was the least helpful, and had a bad, bed-sider manner. He was a know it all and refused to share the truth.

I received the best information and referrals from my oncologist and my surgeons. I was scheduled for all the pt scans, cat scans, mris and pelvic ultra sounds.....etc. These doctors wanted to know what was going on in my body once I FOUND THE TUMORS IN MY BREAST. Make sure you are working with good people. Do not get too scared. There are wonderful options and treatments for all of us.

All the best, CAtherine
