I too had a lumpectomy in mid Nov followed by a re-excision in early December. I too had a stage 1 grade 1/2 cancer. In both cases my post -op appointment with the surgeon to discuss results was made prior to surgery and happened 4-5 days after surgery. I met my oncologist between surgeries and had my radio oncologists appointment made prior to the second surgery for the first week of Jan. I had my planning CT scan last week and start radiotherapy tomorrow. Fingers crossed all goes to plan.
I guess I am lucky that the ‘sausage machine’ of the system seemed to grind smoothly for me.
I too feel slightly fraudulent, although am also swinging from the emotional highs of “leave me alone, I’m fine” to the low s off “don’t you know i have a life threatening illness?” - funny old roller coaster!
Good on you for phoning and being assertive- it really shouldn’t take 4 weeks to get the results fro:surgery.
