Surgeon recommendations: How did you choose a surgeon?

I know the Surgeon do not have IORT in their center. Is that mean their technology is not up to date or IORT is not working as good as typical radiations ? I am really looking forward for the consult with Mayo Clinic . It's far away from me but I think they are really good over there.🤷♀️

Mayo should be state of the art everything and lots of experience. When I was scheduled for IORT in 2013 it made me nervous because it sounded new. Lots of disclaimers. I didn’t have it. The radiation I had in 2020-2021 was the more typical treatment. Mayo will know what’s the most effective for you.
Only one other breast cancer case in my family, a cousin. She doesn’t have the BRCA2 mutation. However, there has been tons of cancer in my family — various kinds.
