I don't think anyone should be told they have cancer over the phone.That's terrible and especially so in your pregnant condition.Depending on where your surgeon operates,there maybe a breast care nurse you could see now?Perhaps you could ring the hospital?You don't normally get the full pathology results until about a week after your surgery.It is sickening when you first hear that cancer diagnosis.You wake up each morning and wonder if you dreamt it. I was an anxious mess until I saw my surgeon and got a surgery date.I was 47 the first time and my girls were 17 and 19.I can't imagine having little ones and being pregnant too-that is so unfair.But you'll do what ever it takes and you'll feel a little better when you have a plan and your questions are answered.I've had bc twice -2003 and then again in 2010- same breast and early bc each time.I'm fine now and majority of women with early bc survive and live long and well.You are at the scary beginning bit but your pink sisters are here to support you.
