"...that she can guarantee I won't heal even from the mastectomy."
Holy cow, did she really say that, word for word? There are some truly questionable doctors in the world if so.
I don't have any expertise in this, but I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry you had to be told something like that.
Do you have any options in terms of traveling to a place that has more specialized care? Wishing you the best no matter what you end up doing.

Thank you! And yes, she did. I was actually floored myself. Especially since I had a lumpoctoy prior and healed great. I don't have high blood pressure, my A1C is good, my heart is healthy, and I have no history of illness or slow healing. I'm not on any other meds than those associated with this cancer. I could understand her hesitancy if I had any other conditions other than some extra weight.

While I can't travel, I do have another set of Dr's I can work with inside my insurance network. So I'll be going that route.
