  • Hello, and thank you for posting.

    I am sorry about your diagnosis of breast cancer, and I can understand that you are recovering from surgery and want to get going with the next stage.

    It is essential that you and your body fully recover from your first treatment, the surgery, before having anything else. Some treatments, like chemotherapy, can destroy any internal healing that has happened if timed wrong.

    The waiting between appointments is difficult, but maybe if you are up to it use this time to prehabilitate and be ready for the next stage.

    If you are interested in cancer waiting times, we have information on our website.

    Take care, and hopefully things get moving for you soon. If you want to talk things through with nurses on the helpline do call 0808 800 4040, lines open mon-fri,9-5.

    Sarah.
