Dear All, I am due to go to my first appointment on Thursday to discuss my biopsy results etc. I have since found out it is the surgeon I am seeing. I had already been told to prepare for a cancer diagnosis which I am slowly accepting when I had my mammogram and ultrasound . Is it normal to see a surgeon on your first visit. Part of me is actually relived as I just want to get on with treatment. xxx
It was the breast surgeon I saw on my first visit to hospital after my biopsies, etc. She confirmed I had breast cancer and talked me through everything. She had her diary and booked me in for surgery whilst I was with her.
I was told it looked like cancer during the Ultra sound and a couple of biopsies were undertaken. Three weeks later I was told by the breast surgeon the actual diagnosis and booked in for surgery five weeks later.
Hi Sparkleandshine,
The consultant who examined me and organised my ultrasound,biopsy and ultrasound was also my surgeon so it was her who discussed my results with me which I really appreciated as it was the same person who seen me from the start of this journey through to discussing histo results.
Wish you luck for results xx
