    Hi Ann-Marie,

    Having Lupus seems to be a problem  regarding my internal organs eg heart, lungs and osephegus.  I am on medication for blood pressure, reflux, arthritis and osteoporosis .

    My Surgeon  says no issue, Radiologist not so keen. I am getting a second opinion on the Radiology for treatment.

    I am seeking results if a Lupus sufferer has had breast cancer then Radiology. 

    IF there is a possibility my organs can be damaged the next step would  be a Masectomy maybe double.

    Hoping i can get some answers.

    Thank you. Eunice

    Hi Eunice,

    Are there any specific questions you have? I can speak with our Policy team to see if they have any information we could pass onto you.
