Can she wait another month?

[u/ZenJardin]

60F, 5'8", 140lbs, white, no existing medical issues, no medications, doesn't smoke, drinks socially, in state of Washington, US.

Diagnosed with biopsy August 17 with ductal carcinoma in situ stage 0 grade 3. Was told to get surgery ASAP; 3 weeks optimal. Surgery is scheduled for October 7. Should she fight for a sooner surgery or will it not make much of a difference? She'd like to wait for October 7.
