So he referred me to another one!! In the meantime I had to get referred to another cancer doctor so I could have all my doctors at one hospital and my surgeries done at one time.   I met with one doctor.. didn't like him at all. He seemed rude, felt like he... http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/326098/127260/updated http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/326098/125807/genetic Fri, 03 Dec 2010 10:58:22 -0500 Nancy Yesterday I got my genetic test results back.
