Post surgery pathology

Hi there,

I had a double mastectomy last week following a cancer diagnosis in April.  

I had sentinel lymph nodes removed as part of the surgery and am assuming the lymph node testing will infom the next steps/stage.

I was disappointed to hear that the pathology on the lymph nodes will take at least 6 weeks due to a massive backlog in the Tasmanian public healthcare system. 

I'm curious to hear how long the wait is for lymph node testing in other states. I'd appreciate hearing how long other women generally have to wait please. 

I'm pretty anxious to know if the cancer has spread beyond my breasts, as well as to find out what the next steps are. 

Thanks for reading, 

Anna
