Surgeon offers answers on metastatic breast cancer
CNN) -- In light of Elizabeth Edwards' recurrent breast cancer, CNN Medical News producer Shahreen Abedin spoke with Dr. Rache Simmons, breast surgeon at the New York-Presbyterian Weill-Cornell Medical Center's Breast Cancer Center. Dr. Simmons has never treated Elizabeth Edwards, so the answers she gives are mainly about metastatic breast cancer in general, unless otherwise specified.
