Hi Barbara Lee, I am so sorry that this is happening. I can remember when I was first diagnosed, every day that I waited for treatment felt like a life-time. But PJ is right.  Even  in the case of a very aggressive breast cancer, 13 days are not going to make a difference. My advice to both of you is to be good to yourselves during this difficult time. Do things that relax and rejuvenate you. Perhaps you could look on this waiting period as a chance to rest and get ready for challenge ahead (maybe I'm shallow but a trip to the spa really helped me a lot). I wish you and your daughter all the best - and another, celebratory, trip to the spa when all this is over. Laurie
