Thank you so much for your responses! I am just in such shock right now over this. You can only hope you make the right decision for the right doctor. She was misdiagnosed for 7 months now and we finally found someone to do a biopsy, which came back yesterday as cancer. It is uplifting though to come on this forum and see so many survivors. We are debating between two hospitals right now Sloan and Mt Sinai. My sister is saying which ever one has an appointment first is the one she is going to. She just wants it out!! I will try and get her on here but I think she is in the denial state. Again thanks so much and any information would help..
