Diagnosis taken12 months

I have had every test going for 12 months. Surely this is allowing cancer to spread

  • Hello dancing-feet and thank you posting,

    I am sorry to hear you have been having a lot of tests over the last year this must be a worrying time for you.

    I am unsure of your situation, and whether you have been told the tests you are having are to look for cancer or that you have cancer.

    If you have been referred for tests urgently under the 28-day to faster diagnosis pathway, the target is to be told you have or do not have cancer by 28 days. The best person to talk this through with is your GP as they know your situation.

    You haven't asked a specific question but if you do need any further information do get back to us. If you prefer you can speak with one of our nurses directly on the helpline, we are here until 5 pm and then return after Christmas on the 27th of December. The freephone number to call is 0808 800 4040 between 9am and 5pm.

    Take care

    Jemma
