Dr. Maffei missed my very obvious breast cancer for at least three years when I had nipple retraction and flattening. There was no lump as I had glandular cancer which is found in a small percentage of women. I discussed the situation repeatedly with her, but mammos were normal . This is also not uncommon for this type of cancer. She should have known that and acted on the very classic presentation of glandular cancer. It's an understatement to say that I'm unhappy with her treatment.
