How long after being diagnosed with BC did u have/start treatment?
I feel like i have been going in circles. With test and options but no action. Just wondering how long others waited?
The hookwire biopsy will be good.as they will definitively be able to sample your lesion.
Unfortunately sometimes the best advocate for a patient is themself. It's great to luck into a well oiled treatment team but it doesn't always happen that way. Remember the squeaky wheel gets the oil! If you have a good GP and/or Breastcare nurse, enlist them to keep at the surgeon & oncologist on your behalf.
You could also ring the BCNA helpline to see if they could assist you in any way. 1800 500 258.
Best of luck & let us know how you get on. K xox
