72yr old newly diagnosed

Hi @Linchit. Welcome to the forum that none of us wanted to join. But I cannot tell you how much I relied on BCNA and this network. I found that being informed about my BC situation helped me to go through and still going, as I will be on hormone blockers for 10 years and other medication for 2 years as my cancer was hormone positive and these medications may prevent from recurrence. Anyway, I did not bother much who to ask questions, breast surgeon or oncologist as they both need to look at my treatment holistically and by the way they know what they are responsible for. Do not assume that they look at all your test results, and sometimes I had to remind them. For example, my oncologist did not know that I had a yearly mammogram and Ultrasound after the treatment. It was all in my file. It applies to my GP as well. Breast surgeon, oncologist and your GP will be your main medical team, and I have been very happy with them including McGrath nurses. Regarding the surgery, my breast surgeon gave me two options, Lumpectomy or Mastectomy. I opted for the first one and so far, no regrets. But before I made that decision, I read all the information he provided me with. From day one of my diagnoses, I followed all the advice and recommendations from my medical team. And I agree Maree, keep asking questions. All the best with your treatment and continue being connected to this wonderful network and BCNA resources.
