Welcome @maggiew Good luck for you appointment on Tuesday. Have you got someone to go with you? It's always good to have another pair of ears. I don't know if you are going private or public, or what your financial situation is, but don't feel that you can't discuss this with your surgeon so he/she knows how to plan your treatment. It's one of the last things you may be thinking about now but later on, it could be the shock you can't deal with. I do have private cover and went privately for chemo but went public for rads (and as far as I can tell, got the same level of service) as health insurance doesn't cover the gap and it can run into thousands of dollars. My surgeon knew up-front that money was a big concern.
