But not a very patient one!
I've at least got a diagnosis, it's invasive ductal cancer grade 2, but still small, oestrogen receptive but looks as if I might get away with the lymph nodes....and maybe not too much treatment afterwards?
Complex plan, but to begin with, a sentinel node (plus another one or so) removal as day surgery, (a nuclear medicine visit first to get 'the jab' for them to trace) then a gap while that, plus the HER result come back, then because of my previous surgeries for cysts and the fact one resulted in a massive haematoma, therefore scar tissue, I will have a complete mastectomy with an implant. That will be immediately after Easter.
By finding out as much as possible beforehand, the surgeon hopes to prevent too many operations. Obviously I will then need Tamoxifen or similar, so will appreciate helpful advice about that.
But I'd be interested on anyone's 'take' on her plan. I feel reassured that she took time with me, and the BC nurse afterwards spent a good while too.

Glad you got the 8 weeks of meds.
i had an issue with pharmacy and talked with pharmacy technician at the surgery, then had to follow up on meds as the agreed plan wasn’t put in place. I now get 8 weeks of meds to alleviate the 2 days of phoning for 4 weekly med delivery. So stressful trying to do that.
i don’t know why pharmacy can’t set up a 6 month plan to get meds to a patient, me! Automatically… oh well all good for the 8 weeks. But like you Moomy I’ll need to ask for extra, which they usually do, in May/june.
my twin is healing, came for dinner yesterday but left when tired. Celebrated mums 91 birthday, she said 19!!!

I had an after-lunch nap and feel a bit better though still very annoyed with myself.
out for a short walk, caught a couple of short films of a robin singing and then spotted another one but not too see his red breast very clearly.
