I found a lump in my breast in August, 2022. However it was very difficult to diagnose as it turned out to be a rare neuroendocrine tumor. It took numerous scans to rule out Stage 4, and this was a very slow process post pandemic. I had a full diagnosis by November 1 and lumpectomy mid-February 2023. However, I did start letrozole in December, 2022. So this was a lengthy process. Somewhat different than your situation, but best I can share. When is the surgery? Will you have any other treatments?
