Question
I was just diagnosed with Celiac Disease and have had symptons of Pagets Disease of the nipple since March. My doctor treated the Paget's as a skin disorder. How do you recommend I proceed. SHould I get a bioposy. Do you know of any experts on Pagets disease of the nipple. My health insurance is limited.

Answer
To make sure if it really is Paget's disease of the nipple or not and what to do I suggest that you ask for a second opinion from an experienced breast cancer surgeon including a biopsy. Insurance covered or not that is the only sensible way of action! GOOD LUCK!
