Mum had her mastectomy in mid august. 
Had 3 week post op consultation, doctor said they don’t have exact pathology results - waiting for her2 results for one new tumour that was discovered- wasn’t seen on mammogram so they hadn’t taken core biopsy of that. 

He said sentinel nodes contained cancer- so ct and bone scan is done last week. 

but we are still waiting for results and it’s going to be 6 weeks. My worry is that If surgery/chemo is the next step, this is going to take at least another 3-4 weeks to arrange after we see the surgeon! 

not too sure what to do and whether this is normal. I did ring them but they can’t see any appointments. Do I ring the nurse or the surgeons secretary?
