Re: 2nd opinion question?

Chelee,
I don't know who the other dr. is that you would have to wait until 10/20....but I would absolutely have a second opinion before you have any chemo.

I called Dr. Slamon today for you and while he is not taking new patients he is certainly consulting and will see you. Angie was ready to set up the appointment.
Call #310 829-5471 Ask for Jeff or Claudia they will set everything up for you to see him.

Don't Panic with the time line...you are on top of the situation and doing your best. While I understand how each day causes you stress....The 2nd opinion is a must
and that 2nd opinion should be the best you can find.

You have many questions and Dr. Slamon will have the answers. If you need any other help reach out to me
Sending you much love,
Jean
