next step: meet the surgeon

I called another hospital and got an appointment with someone to interpret/ act upon the ultrasound for 1/31.

Immediately, Hahnemann called back and got me an appointment for 1/25. Thank you! I'll take that.

I just realized the appointment is with a surgeon. That kinda freaks me out. I call his main desk and find out the plan:

• is it a consult?
• will he examine me?
• will he do a fine needle biopsy?
• or a lumpectomy?
• will it hurt more?

These answers change my life, my experiences.  Should I invite people? Not if its a consult. But, yeah, if its a biopsy. And, definitely if it's a lumpectomy.

The folks at the main desk say that its just a consult. 

Ok, then I'll bring one friend.
