Take time to make your decision

Time to make an intelligent decision is probably one of the most important things. Most of us who are diagnosed with cancer believe that we need to have surgery immediately. My doctor reassured me that it took eight years for that cancer to get to be that size, and another three weeks to make an intelligent decision is not going to hurt one way or the other. I think there probably is one type of breast cancer that does rapidly advance, but the majority of them don't. And Dr. Susan Love quotes in her book that any doctor who recommends that a woman have immediate surgery has a convenient opening in his surgery schedule, and I concur with that.
