My mum- 46 yr old, grade 3 IDC- Lumpectomy surgery today

Hi Elise - I can see good advice is coming through for you. Just wanted to say that time does go quickly, even though we don't think that when we are waiting for pathology results et cetera  Once they are in then the plan of treatment will be plotted and onwards and upwards from there.  The Hopes & Hurdles kit is a good read!  Have a look around the site and you'll find all sorts of useful information including a list of what to take to hospital. 
Take care
