No matter who you choose, we both wish you well and want to remind you that if they are considering a lumpectomy, your future looks bright. Cancer is a hateful, nasty, scary thing and if you want to come over for a cup of coffee anytime, pur door is always open and the coffee pot is on. We serve wine too.

Hugs and love. AND PRAYERS.
A very sweet post, Gracie. I don't know much about how these things work but it does seem to make sense to use a specialist in breast issues. I wasn't aware general surgeons did breast surgery until I read the OP.

Dr. Bundz did my husband's hernia surgery earlier this year and was wonderful. I have to backpedal a little and admit my ignorance that I don't know whether he is--or is not--the right person for breast cancer surgery. I don't know enough to speak with authority either way.
