Do you mean that you are Stage 1? I believe this indicates the size and spread of the cancer. There are 4 stages.
There is also a grade, there are 3 grades. The Grade indicates speed of growth.
Grade 1 is slow growing and 3 is fast growing.
My BC was Stage 2 and Grade 3. I was very happy to have my Mastectomy 10 days after discovery of my lump.

My PS does not charge too much. And I am very happy with her.
The only thing I had done in Public system was Radiotherapy, as Health Insurance does not cover this.
Did your medical team give you advice re the urgency in your case?
