Hi
that is an awful way to be told - over the phone. I was told by the breastscreen Dr that I had breast cancer. this Dr was very caring, gave me info off the pathology report. Then I had to go to my GP for a referral to the specialist - she was happy to go through the report with me and also said that if I needed to call at any time she would be happy to see/talk to me even if it was just for some extra support. then my surgeon was very informative and helpful - making a very difficult time better. I feel for the way you have been treated as the first weeks prior to surgery were VERY emotional - I was in turmoil. I still have my times, and will during treatment too I know but it does not seem as traumatic while I wait for treatment.
Good luck - hope you get some answers soon.
