    I hear you. Diagnosed 2 weeks ago. Mastectomy in 4 weeks. Rare type so not much info. Didn't expect to be so weepy. I tear up over the simple kindness. Also can't stop reviewing the day I found the lump and the frustration that I had a screening coming up and had to negociate with my primary MD's office to reorder as 3D with Ultrasound as I was instructed to by the Mamogram Nurse. He refused to order the ultrasound saying that if they feel it's necessary the radiologists can order it. I tried many times to tell him that if I was told this was to ensure that a physician would be avaliable immediately after the mamogram to ensure that I wouldn't have to leave without knowing all the facts. But there was a docotr avilable right away fortunately.
