Wishing you all the best, @GinGin .... Please consider recording all your meetings on your phone too, to go thru later on if you need to, as it is easy to miss/forget bits, as you are writing something down. xx. It is terrific that your hubby is such a good support for you too. Terrific that you have a breast care nurse already - you can put any queries past them as well!!
'Treatable' is good ..... Once the surgery & 'active treatment' (Rads/chemo if given) is over - that is when you will work on getting your life back & enjoying life again .... this is a speed bump ... You may even find that you don't want to go back to work fulltime .... often your priorities change - so see how you feel in a few months time & go with what feels 'right' for you. xx
You may like to join the Flat Chat Private Group, where you can chat in total privacy about any issue at all - both before and after your surgery, from those who've also chosen that route xx.

i went private for surgery, just to get it done asap & it was just 2 days after seeing the surgeon! (I had a fairly large gap to pay, but I was aware of it beforehand.) Then I did Rad Onc & Medical Onc in the public system & couldn't fault any of it.
hehe, we have lots of funny bits to share & have a giggle with & god knows, we need a good belly laugh now & then! Our Friday Funnies has some beauties in it! If you have any funny pics or sayings, whack them up there for everyone to have a laugh! xx
@Fufan - I thought MY wait was long (found in Oct & surgery in Mid Jan ...) but yours was incredible! :( I blamed mine on being rural ..... but living in Melbourne .... other than Covid delays - that is almost unforgivable!
take care xx
