Hi Jules, I can imagine just how distressing this must be for you, but try to take things one at a time. You are just starting out on this journey, and it is likely to be a marathon, not a sprint. You will need to conserve your energy, and focus on your well-being, try not to panic. Your oncologist will likely answer all your questions when you get the results of the second biopsy, and that is certainly when they will prescribe further tests (scans, etc). If there is reductive surgery, which is surely something they will discuss in detail with you, the doctors are bound to keep it to a minimum so as to encourage recovery. Please try to stay positive, and envisage a good outcome. I am a singer too, so I appreciate that this is your instrument. I wish you peace of mind. Sometimes it helps to write down all your questions or anxieties so you can discuss them with your healthcare providers. All the best ...
