How much time do I have to get a second opinion?

I got my second, third and fourth opinions after surgery. I got my surgery done in two weeks. I knew I did not need any neo-adjuvant meds.

What info do you need before surgery? Are you seeing the surgeon only or an oncologist as well? What info do you have from the biopsy?

If you are HER2- and ER+ you will have an Oncotype after surgery that will help determine treatment. This test is done for tumors under 5cm in size.

I would try to see an expert on lobular cancer, such as Oscar Metzger at Dana Farber. He has some informational videos online as well.

Could you share a link to the videos? I've been poking around their website and haven't found them yet.
