Scared and the unknown, diagnosed with breast cancer

Hey. I have just been told last thursday i have breast cancer. I need to go through having my breast removed and i will go through 18 weeks of treatment, 6 rounds of chemo every 3 weeks and 2 radiotherapy sessions.  I already have implants so my main question if anyone of you ladies can help, is how  long do i need to wait til i get my new implant?  I understand i need to wait til i finish treatment but i am very eager to know how long after this. 

If any of you ladies can shade some light for me i would be very grateful. 

Thank you
