Confused
As someone who support a loved one who was diagnosed with breast cancer, and as someone whose profession is not in the medical sector, but used to having things clear and methodologically explained. ...
I hear you... i had the exact same experience and was completely confused even after my.surgery...
What helped me was meeting with the breast care nurse in her office where upon my saying I was confused she opened my results and then explaoned each component of it as well as typical treatmemt for such diagnosis and she patiently explained why each of the components would be reccomended.
I can honestly say that in this whole mess the breast care nurse I deal with has been one shining light in what seems to be neberending darkness and strongly suggest you get in touch with yours if your hospital has one. If not conract the Breast screen for tour area and ask them how youbcan be put in touch with the breast care nurse.
Apart from helping me understand the information she has been my best advocate in this sorry mess acting as a go between when I needed more information pre chemo as she would pin doctors for down for me pass on information to them or get the information for me that I was needing.
Please try to get in touch with yours and explain your concerns
