Hi everyone, I am a healthy 51 year old and got diagnosed with breast cancer in May. I found a lump in my right breat and, after what seemed like an interminable wait for a mammogram and other one for biopsy results, I had a lumpectomy at the end of May. I waited three weeks for pathology results (surgeon was on leave) and thankfully margins were clear (but close) and there was no lymph node involvement. I am now waiting on an appointment with my oncologist for oncotype results which is scheduled for 11th August. That will be 11 weeks since surgery and I feel like my life is in this weird holding pattern. I am doing my best to live normally and am back exercising, socialising and enjoying the sunshine but feel myself getting antsy while the waiting continues. If anyone has had a similar experience, it would be good to know. I asked if it would be possible to get an earlier appointment but it looks like I will just need to have patience.
