Requesting a second opinion on reports
I am requesting for a second opinion on the attached Histopathology And Cytology report, alongwith an ER/PR report for my mother-in-law, who was diagnosed with breast cancer (right side) and underwent surgery for breast removal. I would like to know if any additional procedures are needed/required after the breast has been removed. Thank you.
