So sorry you are feeling so overwhelmed but it's completely normal. Not to confuse you more but myself, friend and SIL all saw Dr Michael Law. He works at Mitcham private as well as publically through Maroondah breast centre at Maroondah hospital. He was amazing and understanding and so caring. He gave us so much time to answer questions and didn't make us feel rushed or silly.
I don't know about the 2 surgeons you mention but like the others I would recommend seeing both especially if you were not 100% sure about the first one. Feeling comfortable with your team can make a world of difference to your experience and anxiety.
Work and finances are definitely a different story but depending on your treatment and your workplace you will experience different levels of interruptions. Hopefully they are understanding and allow you whatever time you need to get through everything and are pleasant about it all. Finances I recommend once you have more of an idea around treatment plan to check your superannuation and what cover you have. If fortunate you might have income protection which will help until you are back on your feet
Good luck with everything and please reach out here with any other concerns or questions we may not have every answer but we will definitely try to help or at least be ready to listen and share our own experiences. And most if all remember no question is too small or silly to ask. And if you rather have the bare minimum information because it's overwhelming then that is also ok. Sending so much love
