[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maureen O’Donnell at Sibley is wonderful. Part of the Hopkins system.

What do you know about your cancer so far? things to think about:

Er/PR status
HER2 status
Size 
Getting genetic testing for mutations 
You’ll likely get an MRI to see if there are any other concerning areas. This will guide the lumpectomy v mastectomy decision

The good news is breast cancer is well studied and the protocols are standardized. As long as you go to a cancer center, you’ll likely get excellent care.

Happy to keep posting here with you. I went through this a few years ago. (And I am doing great). [/quote]

A whole-hearted Maureen O’Donnell vote. Just had my surgery with her last month.  She is absolutely amazing. So reassuring, she immediately puts you at ease. Her specialty is breast conserving surgery and I couldn’t be more grateful for her. All the doctors at Sibley work together (you will likely see several during treatment) and they all have been great. [/quote]
