Hey Louise - great name you've got there girl!
I love your sense of humour and you will need to keep that while you go through your treatment :) If you can stay positive and focus on each little step at a time, it makes the journey so much easier. Don't stress about the big things until you have to - it won't make it any easier and will just cause you to lose sleep. Control the things that you can control and try to go with the flow for the rest. Ask lots of questions and listen to your doctor's advice.
The mastectomy op isn't too bad but unlike some of the others on this site, for me it took a week to get the pathology results....so just be aware that it may not be the next day that you find out! The doctor gave me an idea about the pathology when I came out of the op but the final results took about a week.
Good luck with everything and keep us up to date with how you are going! Give those pussy cats a big hug too - very therapeutic! My cat is on my knee at the moment and it makes it hard to type LOL (my cat has just been dianosed as a diabetic so now he is the one that has to have the needles!). He used to give me strange looks when I first lost my hair but he got used to it, as did I, eventually !!
Take care,
Louise x
