@Coco65 when I was diagnosed my first question to the surgeon was 'can I have 10 weeks before we operate'? There were lots of things I had to do (I have my own business) and commitments I had in place. Because it was early and the biopsy indicated it was slow growing, the surgeon agreed - and I was put on Tamoxifen in the meantime. This gave me 'mind space', time to research (I got a second opinion just for peace of mind) and the ability to get myself back in control. The surgeon actually said to me during one visit "I get it Nikki, YOU have to get in control of this cancer." So I had time. Of course, if the surgeon had said 'no" because it was aggressive or dangerous to wait, I would've done what I was told.
I'm just telling you this because there isn't always a need to rush in. Everyone is different, everyone's cancer is different - but in my case, I needed the time and don't regret it at all.
So 1.5 weeks may not be a problem for you seeing as it's so early xxxxx
