Hi Narwoo
Sorry that you find yourself here but so glad you decided to reach out and post on this network. We have all been through what you are going through now and it is such a scary and sometimes frustrating time - especially in the early days when you are waiting to see doctors, have tests and get results etc. If you haven't already I would strongly encourage you to order the My Journey information kit from BCNA. It has lots of helpful information that can be reassuring even before you have your treatment plan.
Like you my GP couldn't answer any of my questions regarding treatment even though she had breast cancer herself!! All that info has to come from the breast surgeon and oncologist. I have private health insurance but I still had to wait 2 weeks for and appointment with my surgeon! and another 2 weeks for surgery. I remember at the time it felt like years. Once you see these doctors things will start to happen very quickly. If you can, take someone with you to these appointments so they can act as a second set of ears.
And don't forget that we are here for you and to come on and post any time with questions or just to vent. This network has and is really helping me to get through this and I am sure it will be of help to you as well.
Take care, Nadine
