Yes, once you get your surgery date, your results will follow, so many different treatments for different diagnoses, so one thing at a time. It is hard, as your Surgeon is only the beginning part, so once you have your lumpectomy you would then be sent to an Oncologist who would discuss your treatment plan based on results if it is necessary. My 1st diagnosis didnt require chemo so I wasnt sent to an Oncologist, but 2nd time I was.
The beauty is if you forget to ask questions as I was dumbfounded with my Oncologist, he told me to email him, so I went home settled down and emailed all my questions and it was so much better. I was clearer. I did all my appointments alone, because I honestly didn't need the added pressure of worrying about how someone else was dealing with it. Everyone is different. One thing is true though for all, do exactly what fits perfect for you all the way. xx
