Hi there

in my case the surgeon rang me at home as soon as she got the pathology back after the lumpectomy. I think it was a couple of days after. We already knew the grade and type of cancer from the initial biopsy. Since you have had a biopsy this info should be available so maybe ask you surgeon for it? 

All the best
