Definitely do this and also, have you thought about a second opinion? Not that it would change anything, but for me, talking to a second surgeon confirmed I had made the right choice with my first team so I felt very confident going into it. Also, another set of eyes on things can't hurt. And it was something to do between dx and surgery, which for me was several weeks.

Someone above mentioned the American Cancer Society -- a great resource. Apparently they can hook you up with another woman (local) who has experienced your same diagnosis. I did not do this, but many women in my support group expressed how helpful this was for them.

It sounds like you are wanting answers to questions -- which is of course natural. Not having answers = anxiety! Are you writing your concerns down? I have a cancer notebook that I brought to every appointment and had next to me whenever I was on the phone. Brought lots of peace of mind.

Keeping you in my best thoughts.
