Delay for Surgery: a follow up question

I was recently diagnosed with invasive ductal cancer (left breast) with a tumeur of 2.2 cm and a smaller lump that is suspected of being cancerous as well. This was misdiagnosed as a fibroadenema and was only caught after I insisted on a biopsy (I have since changed gynecologists) The new doctor would like me to be immediately taken into care by an expensive private care breast cancer specialist but I would prefer to see someone at the Institut Curie (a reputed cancer institution here in France) where the wait is two weeks (Aug. 4). Can a 15 day delay be this crucial?

This 2 week delay will make no difference; rarely is any surgery done sooner than this after biopsy. Regards ....
