Having the spouse / SO on the speakerphone during office visits is pretty much SOP these days at the clinic I deal with.
Another vote that this is probably a highly manageable problem with a good outcome. After a couple weeks of intense fear and a few months of intense hassle. You will ride an emotional rollercoaster. You will also get past that mostly intact unless you choose to wallow in depression. My advice: don’t so that.
Best wishes for your family, I hope everything will be great 
Welcome, Angry Kitten!
Suranyi, both of you are in my prayers.
Yes, I can be on speakerphone, in fact they suggested it.
We had the first conversation with the oncology nurse/coordinator. Sounds like we caught it early, and it should be very treatable, thank goodness.
That is great news!
That’s fantastic! Keep us posted.
I wish your wife the best. Good that it seems to be early days. Keep us updated, if you care to, or are able.
My grandmother has a mastectomy at the age of 91, and lived to be almost 108.
What great news! Wishing you both smooth sailing from here on out.
