Hi AnonyMS . I too liked to be well informed, However it is difficult to choose an oncologist. Your surgeon generally refers you to the one they prefer. If you like get a second opinion . There is not a guide to the best surgeons ,oncologists etc. Looking on line or even speaking to friends is not easy, We are all individual . A lot also depends on age and existing health problems when prescribing chemo. So we may have the same bc but different treatment.
