How long are people waiting for chemo in category 2 please. I was referred 3 weeks ago Wednesday and im led to believe ill be waiting another 6-8 weeks. This frightens me x
From my original appointment where I received my diagnosis to the day I started chemo, it was 1 month and 2 days which felt like a long time at the time. It was very quick once I saw my oncologist, 10 days from that appointment to my first chemo. Who have you seen so far?
I was diagnosed April 24th Iv had surgery twice and got clear margins two weeks ago x
Ah it could be different for you since you’ve already had surgery. I had my chemo first and now I’m waiting for surgery so they got me started quickly.
Yes very likely … hope it want too horrendous for you. Good luck with your surgery
Had my first chemo 4 weeks 5 days after surgery

That’s good we are quite behind in my region
Mine was 4 weeks exactly after my mastectomy. In between, they fitted my port which was a disaster (I was just unlucky!) but useable for Cycle 1 and then between Cycle’s 1 and 2, I had it removed and had a PICC Line fitted in time for the 2nd cycle.
I was finally signed off from surgeon (3 surgeries in last 7 months)on monday and the referral for oncology was done that day. They told me 2 weeks for oncology appointment and then 2 weeks after i should start chemo. Seems ambitious to me given I’m 7 months past diagnosis already.
I guess it depends where you are good luck with it all x
