Hi Pampa,
Sorry to hear your news. I'm still waiting for a treatment plan six weeks after my second surgery. I should know more at the second oncologist appointment tomorrow. The MDT meetings are only every fortnight, so that's the hold-up. I was surprised at the lack of communication and coordination between doctors/departments, but felt reassured after I emailed my questions to the Breast Care Nurse, who said she would be at the MDT meeting. That helped a lot, and I feel less anxious knowing the Breast Care Nurse will be an extra pair of ears and eyes to help me understand what's happening next.
I hope you can get that help too. My surgeon allocated me someone, but if yours didn't:
