Lucy, my oncologist was Dr. Martin Blackstein at Mount Sinai, but he has since retired from BC patients. I saw his replacement, Dr. Amir, just a couple of times, as I was at the end of treatment. I did like him, he is young and if Dr. Blackstein approved of him as a replacement, that said a lot to me. He discharged me after I finished Femara in 2012, and I am now being followed at Women's College Hospital in the After Cancer Care Clinic. There could be a great breast cancer onc. at Women's College too. Humber is a regional hospital, I would try to get into PMH if possible, as they do many clinical trials there.

I've heard great things about Dr. Ellen Warner at Sunnybrook. There are some wonderful breast cancer onc. at PMH, but I don't have a name for you. Whoever you go to, make sure they are a breast cancer specialist oncologist, not just a general oncologist. PMH is cutting edge, and Mount Sinai is literally linked to PMH, so the docs often confer on cases. I had my mast. at PMH, treatment at Mount Sinai. PMH is one of the top 5 cancer hospitals in the world.

The only name I know at PMH is Dr. Tak Mak, he's a brilliant doctor, I went to a seminar about her2 BC with Dr. Dennis Slamon and Dr. Tak Mak a few years ago at PMH. Not sure if he actually treats BC patients, or if he is more of a research dr., but your GP could call and ask. If he does not take treat patients directly, perhaps his office could direct you to a BC onc. at PMH.

Please keep us informed.

all the best
