Specifically what her biopsy results said was that:
Poorly differentiated ductal features and lobular features
10 MM
In-situ ductal carcinoma
I read before this diagnosis about a new clinical study with a drug called reparixin

Since I trust this doctor I am thinking of having her get her second opinion at Montefiore instead of Fox Chase.
I'm scared and appreciate any experience, strength and hope that you might have to share.
Thank you in advance for your help. |
Beth Israel, Appel-Venet Comprehensive Breast Center may be a place to consider. Having been an activist for years, I have heard great things from patients about Beth Israel, and visited there several times.
