Hi @Della and welcome.
Take a deep breath, it’s all new and you’re dealing with umpteen things and feelings at once. Surgery will depend on what needs to be done, and assessed urgency.

It’s a shock but Australia’s medical system is very good, and developments in breast cancer treatment are almost constant. Public or private. Best wishes.
