Re: Waiting time
Sorry to hear the news of your diagnosis...the waiting is the worst & it happens a lot. Doesn't make it any easier to deal with though does it. My oncologist said the same thing that @kezmusc said, couple of weeks won't hurt. It hurts your mental health though. Keep busy, find some distractions and all the best while you're waitingJovdp said:Thanks @kezmusc and @Dory65 I have just spoken to one of the McGrath nurses who said it was a normal waiting time so thanks for all the reassurances. I am also self isolating at the moment so I don't get sick and miss any appointments which is just making time drag and not helping!!

Ask for a referral to an endocrinologist. Mine understands that their is a wide variation in normal and when we right.

Oncotype DX
Hi. I was diagnosed with an unusual mucinous BC late October 2019. Two surgeries, the second re-excision and SLNB early November. It's now December. Initially told it's Stage 2A (T2 N0 M0) but now my case will be reviewed because the oncologist thinks the tumour in the axilla might actually be a lymph node and not breast tissue. Still no clear treatment plan. Haven't slept properly for weeks. I've just paid $5000 for the Oncotype DX Breast Test. Hope it's worth it. Another two weeks wait for that and for the MDT to meet again.
