Waiting For The Day To See Breast Surgeon And Oncologist

I am seeing the breast surgeon at 8:30AM tomorrow (Thurs) morning and the oncologist at 1:40PM tomorrow afternoon. I am to be prepared to ask questions and hopefully get an earful which will probably make me sick and super tired with too much info thrown at me and given many options of what to do.  Ray is going with me to the appointments, even though he is on call at work and working from home.  What I want to know is, what kind of sick, evil, mean cancer cells do not form a mass or tumor (like everyone I know who has breast cancer) and then these cells are trying to get out of the duct???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??  These evil cells of mine must be some kind of aggressive mean babies who hate each other to not form a buddy system to create a tumor. I am wondering if this is some type of rare cancer.  See?? See how I begin to analyze and over think what kind of cancer this could be and all I am doing is putting fear in me??  So far, since Monday morning, I have complete peace. I know I am going to be okay and this is cureable.  I know this cancer was caught super early. If I had chosen the route to wait another 6 months?? These cells (who already are working their way out of the duct) could have been a disaster waiting to happen, like Stage 3 cancer with 4 being metastasized. I even called the hospital, where I had my mammo, and told the front desk to leave a message to the radiologist to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart that he agreed and was leaning toward the biopsy, just to make sure we catch anything early, even if it was a 20% chance of what I had on my mammo, being positive.
