sorry for your diagnosis but everyone is a survivor on here so there is HOPE HOPE HOPE...best to take someone with you to your 1st appt if possible because you will get alot of info and it helps if someone can take notes for you..as I told someone else, a website called "breastcancer.org" has a list of questions to ask the doctor that you can print off..my main recommendation is be sure you trust this doctor...if you don't feel right about them after your visit, it is OK to get 2nd and even 3rd opinions..you will have a life-long relationship with your doctors so you must feel that you can trust them and they have your best interest at heart...I also went to a breast surgeon and he was very up-to-date on the latest treatments...at my 1st appt, I kept asking him to just give me a year, just give me a year...he came through and more..I am 18 mos out from my diagnosis and doing great...keep us posted!!
hugs
