Re: Private gynae/specialist to rule out breast cancer?

I've had cancer twice and without going into the minutae I would recommend this. Get at least 2 opinions, ideally from centres unconnected with each other. I was diagnosed incorrectly 3 times over my treatment and only found out because I would not accept the initial finding.

Best wishes.

Thank you all for replying - much appreciated.

I have an appt next week at St George's so quicker than I thought. I will see what happens and take it from there.

Thanks Julian for the advice re: 2nd opinions. Yes, I am wary of misdiagnosis. Can have huge consequences ...

Thanks
