Meeting your breast cancer surgeon for the first time

Meeting your breast cancer surgeon for the first time makes the process all the more real. I recall I was terrified to meet my surgeon. I had already been told it was cancer, but an appointment with a surgeon somehow made it more real.

If you find yourself in this situation, here are some resources that helped me get through this first meeting (PS he was lovely and very kind).
