    Hey mksaabb,

    It's definitely stressful news to hear. Yes, in many breast cancer cases, surgery is the first line of treatment, sometimes followed by radiation and hormone therapy. Some women also need chemotherapy, either before or after surgery.

    Your mother's treatment center may have a nurse navigator or social worker on staff who could help answer her questions and help her navigate this. She may also have access to a support like this from her insurance company, who could also help her arrange a second opinion if that is something she is interested in. It's important to feel confidence in your medical team.
