I am so glad that I was able to help. I am under the care of a female breast surgeon, who also is Chief of Surgical Oncology. I have found her to be very understanding.
In advance, write down any questions you think of. It can be very overwhelming, trust me. Meet with the surgeon who should present his or her plan. Be certain you fully understand what is suggested before you leave the office. If possible, take someone with you. From personal experience, you can often miss something that the other person picks up. My daughter was my "breast cancer buddy".
