How soon does chemo start

I've been diagnosed with follicular cancer (low grade) I have meeting with consultant at the end of the month to sign consent form for chemo - generally how soon after will chemo start?

Parents
  • Usually Chemo will get started very quickly after you sign the consent - depending on the urgency of the chemo I guess

    once you sign the consent form with the consultant they will put the wheels in motion to prepare the chemo but most likely will be waiting no more than a week 

    hope it all goes well

    I also have a diagnosis of Follicular Cancer (low grade). I had formal diagnosis on 9 March and started chemo on 17 March . I started my second cycle of chemo yesterday . My treatment is  "O CHOP". 

    It could be interesting to follow each others journeys? Let me know if you have any questions about my diagnosis, treatment etc.
