I think at our hospital they do the appointments with new patients every Thursday. I felt very lucky that I was able to get an appointment just 6 days after I got the word that the tumor was malignant. In my opinion, the nurse navigators are like angels. I’m glad you have one, too. You are right there are so many options to consider. I never knew how much was involved in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. It has definitely been a learning experience. The only one I don’t have an appointment with yet is the radiation oncologist. I will ask the nurse navigator about that if they don’t call soon.
