We all get your frustration and the helpless feeling of waiting for an appointment. It was 3 years ago yesterday I found my lump and had a biopsy 3 days later. I didnt get my results until the 28th, meanwhile attending a funeral and supporting family members through Xmas whilst I stayed awake terrified at night of my future. I'm glad you've seen the surgeon and fabulous you are having the scan and clip tomorrow. All these things lead you closer to your chemo being able to start. Have you a breast care nurse or cancer care coordinator at the hospital of treatment? They might be able to help.
Meanwhile have a look at some headgear online for when you lose your hair. Maybe book a dental appointment for a good clean...all reduces risks pre chemo and will help keep you busy. Find out if there is a local wig bank.
The hardest part of this journey is accepting that we are not in control of many aspects and we just have to deal with each thing as it comes up. Kath x
