I had my lumpectomy in Sept 2011 and was referred by Dr. Tummala (my oncologist) to Dr. Mascarenhas (my breast surgeon) who did the surgery at Florida Waterman Hospital. Dr. Mascarenhas implants a SAVI unit which was used to administer radiation. Similar to BTK's wife, I had radiation 2 times a day for 7 days and then the SAVI unit was removed. Unfortunately, I don't know Dr. Bundz but if you have any interest in meeting with my doctors, I will be extremely happy to give you their information. Please make sure to choose someone that you feel is caring and will explain everything to you and spend as much time with you as you need. This is a very scary thing, I know because I was there. I do hope and pray it turns out well for you and that you're cancer free very soon. Good luck, pm me if you have any questions. I reached out to BTK and his wife during my investigative process and they were extremely helpful to me. Please don't hesitate to reach out to any of us with questions. Praying for your good health.
