Hi, I have just been diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer and so far all the information has been very helpful. To comply with legalities I will have had my operation by 12 September but how do I choose the hospital and surgeon. How do I know that the hospital where I had my diagnosis is going to be the best one for my type of operation and treatment. The Clinical Specialist is coming to see me on Monday so is it likely that she can answer this for me or will she recommend the hospital I am closest too.
