Why doesn't the medical profession automaticly check the initial biopsy for erpr? I had to do research, then ask to see an oncologist (instead of just a surgeon, which I was automaticly sent to), and ask her to check to see if I had estrogen/progestrogene receptors in my cancerous cells. They had to send the cells all the way to California,...which is INSANE since I live in Florida. This is just NOT FAIR or trustworthy of the medical profession. I opted to take tomoxifen for my stage ZERO micro (R) breast ductal carcinoma in situ and keep a watch on this situation. I was told they may have gotten all the cells out with the core stereotactic biopsy, but they could not be sure.
