@Coco65 Great throwing yourself into the housework, honestly keeping busy is the best thing to do right now. The worst part honestly is fear of the unknown, no direction and thats the worst part as once you have results you'll be surprised how you will settle.

Ok, so putting a clip in at biopsy? normally they put a clip in prior to the lumpectomy so they know where it is to take it out. The clip does show them where it is yes, but the biopsies are so hit and miss and results never come back accurate thats why they rely on lumpectomy as pathology from that is the only way they know. 1.5 weeks isn't too long, I know it seems urgent, but as its early, honestly it wont make any difference at all.
Great idea emailing your Surgeon, ask away...EVERYTHING!!! knowledge is power and you will relax a little believe me.
Ohhh Jo, don't think about that, its normal to think it could happen again, no 2 people are the same or their treatments, I would never have thought Id have it again, but I never sat around worrying over something I just couldnt control. It doesnt discriminate fit, unfit, healthy, unhealthy, race, religion or age. There are zero common denominators no evidence apart from minority studies. So just do what feels good for you, thats the only point.
I know right now it feels so out of control and the panic is awful and trying to keep it together for your kids. So step back and baby steps, you will be absolutely fine! x Melinda
