Dr. Saha is a brilliant doctor who cares tremendously about her patients. She knows that I want to reduce my risk of breast cancer recurrence; I told her the first time I met her. I told her that I wanted to be aggressive as possible in reducing recurrence. She never forgets that and has now twice offered me two new treatment options that can help lower risk. She is well aware of all new treatments in the fight, and as such, continually discusses them with me.
