Hi Theresa, welcome to this site. It is a great place to rant and rave and just vent your frustrations and fears. This is an awful time of the year to be tied up in fear and needing surgery. At a time when everyone is rushing around and thinking about Christmas, your mind is probably filled with many other thoughts. Things do move quickly, and you should have results before Christmas. I had BC 3 years ago in December, and 2 surgeries. The second surgery, a mastectomy and more lymph nodes removed happened on December 22. I was discharged from hospital on Christmas morning, with pathology results rushed through because it was Christmas. I still remember thinking my surgeon was like Santa Clause, as he waltzed in about 8 or 9 in the morning with wonderful pathology results. No more surprises and all lymph nodes clear. I wish you you a Happy Christmas with good pathology results. Good luck, Love Chris xx
