Welcome Shaylee and sorry you have to join our group. Yes we are all so shocked at the beginning and the barrage of tests and appointments are overwhelming but I must admit I was much happier when I went in for that surgery and hot my resukts of nodes etc. Your final treatment plan will come after surgery as sometimes the pathology is different to the initial biopsy results (mine a diff grade and larger ). Are you having a sentinal node biopsy also? Hope all goes well with surgery and ask anything...no question is dumb. Take care. Kath
