Hi @CarlyJR
So sorry to see you joining our club, especially under the circumstances of having a new baby and having to give up breast feeding and all of the worry and emotion that goes with that.
Do you have access to a Breast Care Nurse? They can be enormously helpful with questions such as yours. There are many in regional areas and you don’t need a referral. Your local hospital or doctor should be able to steer you in that direction.
As far as questions for the surgeon, perhaps just wait till you have all of the information, then these will become more apparent. If you think of any now, write them down. This time is such a whirlwind that it’s hard to keep everything in your head. If possible, can you take a partner or support person to your appointment? This is also a good idea.
There are many knowledgeable people on this forum so I’m sure you will get some good advice. Just take one step at a time and try not to get too far ahead.
Very best wishes
