Had a 9:30 appointment with Dr AH at BreastScreen in the city to get my diagnosis. Except there was an accident on the Gridlock Interchange which caused traffic chaos which made us late. Hurray.
They're calling it a Pleomorphic Lobular Tumor, 17mm, grade 2 (maybe), hormone receptor positive, HER2 Neg. The left breast is generally quite a bit denser than the right. Options include surgery, chemo, radiotherapy, hormone therapy. Hormone therapy may be effective.
They gave me a contact list of surgeons and said to call them all and try and get an appointment. So I spent the rest of the morning calling around surgeons. The earliest appointment I could get was with Dr RW - tomorrow! - "because she's new". Yes the same doctor as I saw at BreastScreen! So I booked that in.
I'd manage to secure an appointment with Dr LH after the sweetie's long appointment, so we went together after lunch. But in the end I took most of the time and so got charged for the long appointment. Doh. She still thinks I shouldn't go on holidays hrmmm. She gave me a referral to see Dr RW tomorrow, and asked I-Med for an urgent MRI.
