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

  • Hi  

    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.

  • Thank you so much for your reply xxx

  • 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.
