Hi
Honestly, it could be millimeter. I don't know my head swims when I talk to these people. I saw the oncologist yesterday and he really couldn't give me any more information. I have no idea if I'm estrogen. Positive or negative, he said that's a question for the London radiologist. So now I am waiting for that phone call. Then I will have to go down to London which is an hour away for a consult.

@sue417 - I am sorry you felt this way, but you are NOT alone. Most of us can truly relate! Can you have someone with you next time so he/she can take notes for you? I, and many others find that it helps a great deal. It also helps to review the notes with that person so you can remember the information and share your thoughts with someone who can support you. Can you ask someone to come with you when you go to London?

For me, it was my husband. He came to every appointment and took many notes. On my first appointment with the surgeon, my daughter, who lives in a different state, wanted to hear what the doctor said, so I asked the surgeon if I could use my cell (on speakerphone) during the meeting so my daughter could listen in. The doctor was happy to do so.

You didn't mention if you asked for and received any documents, such as pathology results, for either the biopsy or the surgery. Did you?

Stay strong, Sue, and know we are by your side!

HUGS,

D
