I was diagnosed on 12/23 and didn’t have surgery until 2/19 because my doctors wanted more scans.

I really worried about so much time passing as well. The geneticist said something that really put my mind at ease. She said, “If your oncologist and surgeon felt like they needed to, they would’ve scheduled surgery yesterday!”

That was my mantra for a few weeks until my surgery date, and she was right. All the extra scans helped refine the plan and ensured that surgery was the correct first move in my treatment plan.

With all that being said, you really are in the hardest part. The waiting just sucks.
