Hi @CathyMac
Welcome to the forum. There is never a good time for this thing, but it does like to show up at the busiest, most inopportune time. Mine appeared 3 days before my twins 18th birthday, a trip down the coast, a formal, a graduation and a 21st all witthin 6 wks of being diagnosed. Oh and then Christmas.
The start is the hardest, The waiting for results, waiting for appointments. The roller coaster of emotions. The confusion. It will settle a bit once you have a treatment plan.
Time frame can vary. I could have had surgery a week after my intial appointment if I had opted for a mastectomy, however I wanted a lumpectomy if possible and the primary tumour was quite elusive to find so it ended up 1mth from diagnosis. I have an acquaintence who just went to surgery 11 days after diagnosis. So hopefuylly it will move along pretty quickly for you.
All the best lovely. You are definitely never alone here.
