The Pathway Through Breast Cancer
One Step At A Time
"Every journey, no matter how far, starts with one step"
Meeting your Surgeon
What to Expect at your first Appointment
Your experience begins with a phone call or visit to our office. Our team of surgeons and assistants will guide you through this journey step by step. Our top priority are our patients and their families. Our office works closely with the Comprehensive Breast Care Program (CBCP). You will typically be contacted by a Nurse Navigator from the CBCP prior to your first visit with your surgeon. The program provides ongoing education and support throughout your journey. You can find their online education package at the following:
Your Surgeon will discuss various surgical options with you. Most often surgery will be the next recommended step. Typical timelines for surgery are within 4 weeks for invasive cancer and 8 weeks for non-invasive cancer (DCIS). Occasionally it will be recommended to start either chemotherapy or endocrine (hormone) therapy prior to surgery (neoadjuvant). If this is suggested, additional X-ray tests may be required. Our office will arrange all necessary investigations. These may include a further ultrasound scan, a CT scan, bone scan or an MRI scan.
