Hi @Temple when did you have your lumpectomy? A week or two post that your surgeon should provide you with a pathology report and discuss the results with you. After this, treatment is likely to be handed over to your medical oncologist who is in charge of chemo (if you need it) and all medication, and a radiation oncologist who manages your radiation plan. FYI I had my lumpectomy in early July but didn't have radiation until October and I was only contacted by the radiation team in September. I believe you have to wait at least 6 weeks post surgery to have radiation, longer if you decide to have brca gene testing done and need to wait for the results. Best of luck!
