My search for the best surgical oncologists in Bangalore concluded with the following two names:
- Dr. B.S.Srinath
- Dr. K.S.Gopinath
I had searched on the net, checked with a known doctor and got information from my uncle who also stays in Bangalore.
Coincidentally another uncle of mine knew Dr.Srinath. So we decided to meet Dr. Srinath. We got an appointment on 28th Oct 11 at Rangadore Memorial Hospital.
This hospital is in Basavangudi on the Shankar Mutt road and is run by the Shankar Mutt trust.
Armed with all the test reports, accompanied with my two uncles we met Dr. Srinath on 28th. He saw the reports, examined Mom and then gave his opinion.
Cancer was in initial stages. But immediate surgery was required.
Couple of other things that came out did brought a lot of relief to me.
1) Based on his clinical examination the lump wasn't big enough. It was around 3x3 cm in dia.. The reason for the larger size in the FNAC could have been because of
swelling caused by pricking the lump.
One point to note that there was some bleeding in the lump that had happened due to the FNAC and the area around the lump had turned blue possibly because of clotting.
It seems this is also a good sign indicating the lesser aggressiveness of the cancer (This I got to know independently from other sources).
2) Axillary lymph nodes didn't seem impacted. Although a clearer picture would emerge during the surgery and the biopsy after that.
3) Removal of complete breast (Mastectomy) might not be required and just the removal of lump(lumpectomy) would be sufficient.
He asked us to decide on the surgery date and also referred Mom to the anaesthetist for his input on the surgery date.
The check-up by the anaesthetist revealed a high blood pressure (BP) for Mom, 190/100. This wasn't suitable for the surgery to happen and he prescribed medication to bring it down and also a one day advance admission before the surgery to keep it under control.
It was decision time now. We were convinced that surgery is a must but in the back of my mind I was still evaluating whether to take another opinion and also whether to get the surgery done in Rangadore or somewhere else.
