Just Diagnosed meeting with surgeon not sure what to ask?

Meshell5324

Hello I'm 51 and had a core biopsy done on Tues, my pcp called today with the news that it's cancer. This is the information that I have, it's fairly large 3.6 on one view 4.5 on another. It's sensitive to hormones. One sample was grade 1 and one sample was grade 2. Not showing in blood. I have an appointment with a surgeon tomorrow to discuss a lumpectomy. My pcp said after test on the tumor we can discuss treatment options. Not sure what to ask tomorrow?

Hi Meshell5324, and welcome to Breastcancer.org.

We're so sorry you find yourself here, but we're really glad you've found us. You're sure to find our Community and incredible source of information, support, and advice. Our members are amazing!

While you wait for some more responses, there's a great resource right here on the main Breastcancer.org site's Your Diagnosis section -- Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Your Diagnosis. Print that out and take it with you tomorrow. You may also want to bring a friend or family member (or even a recorder) with you to help capture all of the information your doctor discusses with you -- it can be overwhelming with everything you learn, and you may miss some things.

We hope this helps, and we look forward to hearing more from you soon and supporting you through your diagnosis and treatment!
