Thank you for responding and for providing info on the breast group. The biopsy and breast MRI seem to indicate that my cancer is small and non-invasive. Not the slowest growing, but also not the fastest, so in the best of all worlds, I will be fine. Unfortunately, I require neck surgery, too, which is also postponed due to the virus and has now been given 2nd priority after we deal with the breast issue. So I'm in a little discomfort which I'm hoping PT will help if they actually continue providing it and if I deign it wise to go if they do and risk exposure since Im considered high risk. The breast oncologist I had my heart set on caring for me is not accepting new patients due to the outbreak, I learned today. So I've reached out to my cancer specialist at Mayo who monitors a precursor condition for myeloma I have to see how y'all are handling surgeries and the newly diagnosed there now, but don't expect to hear back for a few days given the current load of calls and emails. I am ordinarily a crazy busy person out in the world, but will find pleasure in being home soon. Not feeling great and doing what I can to feel better right now. Monitoring my temp and symptoms to see if I should get tested and will not delay if this looks like it could be "it". Definitely in isolation to protect others just in case.
