She should see a medical oncologist first for work-up and discuss the options. She should also talk to her surgeon and radiation oncologist before she makes her decision for treatment.
You generally start with a surgeon. There are dedicated breast surgeons, surgical oncologist and general surgeons who perform breast surgery. You will most likely also need a medical oncologist and possibly a radiation oncologist.
You need a breast surgeon, one that has fellowship training. They will help you coordinate a medical oncologist and a radiation oncologist.
Good luck to you and your wife.
