3/7/2011My daughter has been diagnosed with Granuloatous Lobular Mastitis and is on her fourth series of antibotics which still are not taking care of it. Now that it is definately not cancer, she feels that the doctors are not longer interested in her condition which has been frankly miserable. Where can she go elsewhere for help?
