Your first visit

Finding a lump, or hearing the word cancer, is frightening. The first visit is unhurried: an examination, the tests that are needed, and honest answers to every question.

  1. She listens first

    What you noticed, when, your periods and pregnancies, your family history, and what worries you most. A family member is welcome in the room.

  2. Examination and tests

    A careful breast examination, then a mammogram, an ultrasound or a needle test, depending on your age and the findings. Earlier reports are reviewed first.

  3. A clear plan

    What the lump is, whether anything needs to be done, and if it is cancer, the stage, the choices and what each one means for daily life.

Breast surgery and breast cancer care

Conditions treated

Dr. Holla has spent more than a decade working only on breast disease, from harmless lumps to breast cancer surgery. These are the most common reasons women come to see her.

  • A new breast lump

    Most lumps are not cancer. Each one is checked with an examination, a mammogram or ultrasound and, when needed, a needle test, usually within a week.

  • Breast cancer surgery

    Breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy, planned with you after the biopsy and scans, as part of a team plan with medical and radiation oncologists.

  • Oncoplastic and reconstructive surgery

    Techniques that remove the cancer and reshape or rebuild the breast in the same operation or later.

  • Sentinel node biopsy

    Checking only the first few lymph nodes under the arm, so that most women avoid the swelling that a full node removal can cause.

  • Benign breast problems

    Fibroadenomas, cysts, breast pain, nipple discharge and infections, treated or simply watched, with clear reassurance.

  • Screening and high risk

    Mammograms and check-ups for women over forty, and a plan for women with a strong family history.

  • After treatment

    Follow-up visits, managing side effects, arm care, and support in returning to normal life.

This list covers the most common reasons for a visit. If your problem is not listed, send a request and ask.

What patients say

Stories from patients and families, in their own words.

    Surgery is one part of breast cancer treatment. Medicines are another.

    Most women also take hormone or targeted therapy for years after surgery. The panel lists the medicine groups you may hear about, so the words are familiar when your plan is explained.

    • Take hormone tablets every day for the full course, even when you feel well.
    • Fever during chemotherapy is an emergency. Come to the hospital the same day.
    • Report any new lump, arm swelling or bone pain at your follow-up visit, or earlier.
