I am new to all this, very interested to read other people’s experiences and grateful for any advice. After two appointments for biopsies I received my first diagnosis this week, of small, Grade 3, triple positive beast cancer and grouped microcalcifications, and was told that there is a 5 - 6 week wait for surgery, with radiotherapy and other treatments to follow. I was originally referred by my GP on 13 February so if wide local excision and sentinel node biopsy is not booked until near the end of April I am worried that there will be significant chance of spread in the next 5 weeks, given that it is Grade 3. The senior surgeon I saw, and my Macmillan nurse, both told me not to worry but is 5-6 weeks the usual length of wait from diagnosis to treatment for this type of cancer?
