| 3/13/2012 | My Mother's lumbar spine biopsy perfomed at John Hopkins was positive for metastatic breast cancer. However, we live in the Philadelphia area where her current Oncologist is located. There are 2 very small bone mets. How can we get a second opinion for further treatment? Thank you!! | ||
