Newly Diagnosed Had to Switch Doctors When to Start Treatment

Welcome to Mayo Connect. When diagnosed, the immediate reaction usually is how fast can I get cancer removed. The correct treatment plan is more important then how fast you have surgery. Everyone situation is unique. The onocologist may recommend gentic testing to help determine treatment plan.
It is important to have a care team that you trust, and sounds like you have made that change.
Have you had a biopsy to determine the type of breast cancer you have, would you care to change result of biopsy?

Sorry to delay in responding. I've been getting a good care team lined up. I appreciate your kind words of reassurance. I see a surgical oncologist and plastic surgeon tomorrow in New Orleans. I will be asking about comprehensive care post-op as well. Thank you!
