Advice on making treatment decisions

Hi all. I thought this would all be cut and dry. Im still waiting after x3 appointments with surgeons for a recommended  treatment plan.
They were waitng to MRI results as iver xmas the radioligist went on holidays so last weeks appointment i was told i coukd probably choose masectomy or lumpectomy but lets see. So i leave thinking about that. 
This week they found another lump. So booked for another biopsy. Will go again but surgeon suggested chemo to shrink then possible lumpectomy depending on results and uf i choose chemo First. What if i dont want chemo first. Even masectomy hes saying chemo after anyway.
Si many decisions and inconsistencies which continually change. They are scaring and confusing me. Do i have to decide at next appt? Registrar said yes to that at last appt.Does anyone have any advice on who to speak to or how to decide or where to find information please?. Its a bit overwhelming.
