You can try calling the doctor that did the biopsy for information. My situation we found a mass a size of a pea. They called me to come back in to do an ultrasound. Set me up for a biopsy. Got a cancellation got me in the next day to do the biopsy. A week later they tried to schedule a mastectomy or a lumpectomy. I had to decide what I wanted to get done. I went with lumpectomy right side breast. I did the lumpectomy followed by 23 days of radiation. My entire process was really smooth from start to end. My regular doctor was only involved in the beginning to refer me to get my mammogram done. The clinic that did my mammogram referred me to a couple of surgeons I had to pick. I got really lucky to pick the right one and the right oncology team as well. They were great. I was well informed and very relaxed going through it. I had support from my family and my work family. I worked through my entire situation. My profession was a Correctional Officer. My work schedule was week on week off 7/12. I kept doing my normal duties and routine. I am very thankful for everyone that was there to support me. You need to stay positive through it all. I hope this helps good luck.

Biopsy hasn’t even been scheduled yet. Sounds like my primary physician should have referred me to the breast center when mass showed up. That is not what happened. My physician never called me. He is who ordered MRI after mammogram and then has been MIA since. I sent messages and called. Took a week to get them to even order ultrasound. Feels like I am dealing with people who have no idea what they are doing. Delays, no information or explanation about anything.
