The breast surgeon was very forth coming with letting me know that I did not need a breast surgeon. She had told me she read my reports and looked at my scans. She said, “The spot on your chest wall is nowhere near your left breast. “ “What you need is a thoracic surgeon.” She then proceeded to make a call to a surgeon and was able to get me seen that same day in the afternoon. She was going to fax all my reports and scans to the surgeon so he would have them ahead of time to look at. I thanked her for all her help. She wished me luck and we said our goodbyes. The Thoracic surgeon had an office in Milford about ten minutes from my house. His main office was about a half hour away in Dover. He performs his surgeries at the hospital in Dover. I had a consultation with him about the spot on my chest. He told me by looking at all the scans that the spot was behind my pectoral muscle. He said, “I will have to move muscle apart to get to it. “ He told me the surgery would be done at Kent General Hospital in Dover. He told me I should have minimal pain afterward. The surgery would not take very long but they never do. The registration and recovery time are what take the longest.
