@Tracey2800, hi Tracey, I'm sorry you find yourself here too! I was diagnosed on the 8th November after a routine mammogram in early October. It took 3.5 weeks to get the call back. On the 1st November I spent a day at breast screen ACT having more mammograms, ultrasound and 4 core biopsies later I was feeling far less confident than when I had arrived there that morning. I had a 2.5 week wait to see my surgeon who I saw on the 22nd Nov. I had decided before I saw her that I was going to opt for a mastectomy, but after much consultation with her I have decided on breast conservation surgery as she is fairly confident that it is early and contained. I will lose 40% of my breast on the 6th December when I have the lumpectomy and then a year or two down the track will have breast reduction surgery on the other breast.
