Loving Daughter, What is your first name? Yes we are neighbors. My e-mail address is
ludysmith@yahoo.com. I can send you my phone number if you would like to speak over the phone.
I was origionally diagnosed 09/26/91 with stage 1. I had mod. rad. mast. with tram flap recon., 6 months of cytoxin, methotrexate, and 5fu. I had my treatment at Robinson Memorial Hospital.
I was dx. with bone mets 02/06/04. I went back to my oncologist at Akron General She no longer practiced at Robinson. I was not satisfied with her bedside manner so I went to Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, Illionois for a second opinion. I ended up staying for 6 weeks to get rad. treatment and a biopsy of 2 very large masses in my other breast which turned out to be benign cysts.
They wanted to do chemo treatment, but I did not want to make the plane trip every 3 weeks so I came home and had treatment with Dr. Marquinez of Mubishar/Marquinez Inc. They are the only oncologist practice in Portage County.
I had good results with him but decided to go to a teaching hospital where I could get cutting edge clinical trials. Dr. Paula Silverman is my Doctor and she is great.
You are a wonderfull daughter to take the time to figure out what is best for your Mom.
God Bless You
