@Brenda5 sorry but I disagree. There is a time and place yes even after diagnosis for talking wills, legalities etc. and getting stuff in order but definitely not at the same time as your diagnosis where you have just found out you have breast cancer.  It is the worst timing in my opinion and highly insensitive on the docter's part.  He is not a specialist, he is merely a 'messenger' giving the diagnosis and has no idea of her prognosis at that moment. His job was to reassure her and at the most give her the cancer council's helpline number and a referral to a specialist.  Also the last thing you want or should be having to hear when receiving your diagnosis are how many people don't survive. You need to give the person hope.  People are told to get their affairs in order when they have been through treatment for or at a terminal diagnosis, and are only done after a specialist has done proper scans, biopsies and thorrough testing.  This doctor in my opinion is a douche bag!
