CrazyDogLady67 we sound like around the same palce Im 49 and was dianosised on the 11th Feb ER/PR + and HER2 1+ grade 2 ILC over 8cm so also waiting on Masectomy.

I like to research so spend the long waiting days with learning as much as I can and preparing best I can.
HiMillymonster. Thank you for your kind message.
yes I’m a prepper so being fully informed to make decisions will help me be more functional.
I’ll be doing the mri today so I assume when the surgeon looks at what comes back it will give a stage number which nobody seems to be saying anything about to me right now.
everything I’m reading seems to be connected to stage numbers so I’m maybe not so clear because of that.
Apart from that it’s the stuff needed for post operative that I really need to get to grips with so something feels organised.
Is there such a thing as a post mastectomy checklist?
In someways I'm lucky Ive had 70+ days to prepare checked of every checklist bought special equipment and things that make me happy to wear after surgery prepared house and yard worked on my fitness lost 15kg, got my job in order. It doesnt take away the Unknowns or stress but im well informed and prepared. I've not been told a stage and wont worry about it till after when we have the full picture.
