My spouse is a recent(June 2015 surgery) breast cancer survivor
We initially advanced locally, with input from her PCP, but I pushed(hard) for a second opinion outside the area even though transportation was going to be an issue. Like "NYGuy" says look beyone the closest available options. If you are planning reconstructive, then I recommend Moffitt(Tampa) where my wife was treated. What differentiates Moffett from local practices is that the doctor's work in teams. Specifically your consult will be with a cancer surgeon who helps you understand the Imaging from his radiologist(will reread yours if Imaging is up to parr) and then immediately thereafter you'll meet the plastic surgeon(on his;/her team) to explain reconstruction options. Gain as much information as possible to make your best and likely most important decision of the decade.The TriCou nty Breast Survivor Group(meets 2X/mo) in TV is a good resource. All the best
