Let's Help This 40 Yr Old Woman

[carstell]

I was 40 when I was diagnosed. I didn't have the option to wait 3-6 months, But would not have been able to. I was sent right from mammogram to ultrasound to biopsy. I would push to see a surgeon.We are getting diagnosed younger and younger. If nothing else go for peace of mind.

I had my surgery at the Joyce Eisenberg Keefer Breast Center at St. John's hospital in Santa Monica (right next to Bev Hills.) I can't say enough good things about this practice. They do surgery and dx.
The head of the Center is Dr. Armando Giuliano, who pioneered the sentinal node biopsy. If your friend can't get an appointment with him, I would feel totally comfortable with one of his partners.
I've also heard good things, by the way, about City of Hope. Let me know if you need more info.

I knew I could count on my Sisters! Thank you Margerie, Cheryl and Linda for your suggestions. I have forwarded all to my dghtr and friend.

Such a scary time for any woman, as we all are too keenly aware. Your kindness is deeply appreciated.

May each of you be well and healthy. As you give, so you will receive. This young woman asked that I personally express her deep appreciation for coming to her aid.

This is one fabulous group, as I have always said...

With love,

Andi
