I want to add my welcome to you! Like the other gals have said, I also had a general surgeon that did my biopsy as well as my mastectomy. In fact, I still see my surgeon 1x a yr for a checkup. She works very closely w/ my onco and my family physician.
Try and stay as busy as you can. This helps the time pass quickly. Watch shows/movies that will make you laugh. Laughter is a great stress release.
One other thing. Write down any questions that you have for the surgeon. When you go to your initial appt, if you don't like him/her, then walk out and find another one. You have time. The first surgeon that I consulted was very arrogant and I knew immediately that we would not get along. I called another surgeon and w/in a week saw her and knew it was a right match. You have to have total trust and faith in your medical team.
We are here to hold your hand and help you thru these next few weeks. Come and post anytime. There is usually someone around, night and day.
Hugs..Deb
