Hi - I have recently been diagnosed with Phyllodes Cancer. I am seeing an oncologist at Penn Hospital. 

I would like another opinion.

Can someone recommend an Medical Oncologist (Not just a surgeon) who has prior experience of Phyllodes 

in NYC or New Jersey or Philly.

Thanks in advance

    I am so sorry that you have had a cancer diagnosis nevertheless one of the "rare" cancers. Have you contacted Dr. Lori Goldstein (a medical oncologist) at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia? This might be a good person to give you a second opinion about a treatment plan.

    I wish you the best of luck.

    Phyllodes

    did you get your second opinion?  I have been diagnosed the same, only I have had one removed and it was benign and just had a second one out in August and got my result last week that it is makivnant.  My phyllodes is also very agressive.  I can't seem to find a specialist that has dealt with this before.
