I've heard about this, read a bit, & plan to speak with doctors/etc
about it. Try to get more info.
Has anyone tried it?

Well, it's finally scheduled and all funded.  Whew.  It will be 2 months
from the time I first found the major mass in my breast, but I made enough
noise and with help from dear friends (and you know who you are <g>), I got
