Confussed and scared

Hi Gal,  Me too as a recent diagnosis.  I was lucky to have my surgery very quickly. When I was first diagnosed my main thought in checking was the difference between localised excision vs mastectomy.  For smaller leslions it seems there is not a lot of difference in outcomes  and my surgeon said even with a mastectomy I would have radiation anyway so I did opt for the localised excision.  At least it is a day case and no drain tubes need to be left in.  Now I am waiting on the final pathology, especially with relation to the sentinel lymph node to find out which direction my treatment will take.  Lost and empty seems a good description of how you feel.  I found it carthartic to write down in a similar post how I came to this point.  It still feels unreal the it is ME undergoing this diagnosis and treament, like an out of body experience.  Wishing you all the best Gal and finding a Breast Care Nurse would be a great help to you.  They are awesome!
