@NotHappyJan I was given a printed copy of my pathology report and I went through underlining and annotating it so I could ask my breast surgeon (the first specialist I saw) about all the bits I didn't understand (quite a bit). As others have said, definitely try to take someone with you to that conversation and have them take notes (take your own as well) or ask if you can record it on your phone. If you're like me you will get home and think of a dozen more questions, just keep a list (I have a dedicated notebook for this) so you can go over them next time you talk to your surgeon or the oncologist.
