Seeking Advice on Breast Cancer Treatment Options

I am in the same boat. I get my pet scan and brain mri back Thursday. I just want to get a double mastectomy and get them off. I don't know my stages yet. The surgeon who did my biopsies miss diagnosed me. I was reading everything and everyone said know your pathology report every thing was negative so I called the Dr office and said to the nurse hey I have been doing my research and it looks like I'm TNBC and she said yes it looks like it. Yet she diagnosed me with invasive ductal carsenmo very common most women get this very curriable. So I went to the oncologist that she referred me too and I like him but can I trust him since she recommended him. Such a roller-coaster with emotions. I'm waiting for Thursday and see what I'm dealing with. My prayers go up for you and all our sisters and brothers dealing with this aweful disease 🙏 God Bless us All🙏🙏❤️

Check your insurance to see what other doctors . Or you like oncologist keep but you need him to teach you your grade level stage level . Options . You can also get a second opinion For good measure . I see oncologist surgeon tomorrow on options for mastectomy with reconstructive or lumpectomy
