Looking for Help in Italy

Help! My sister-in-law, who lives near a US Airforce base in northern Italy (where my brother works) just had a highly suspicious mammogram and ultrasound. The Airforce radiologist did a biopsy last Friday at the base hospital. My brother thought he didn't have much experience doing breast biopsies.

So now the sample has been sent to England for pathology and they won't hear for 10 days.

Does anyone know of an Italian breast center that she could go to? They live about an hour north of Venice. She said that she wanted the lesion taken out and I'm screaming inside thinking of her having it done on base where she had the biopsy. She really needs to be somewhere where they do lots of breast imaging and surgeries and have lots of experience.

Thank you all so much for any leads I can send to her
