HI Jo,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis, but I am glad to hear that you have caught it early. Do you know what type of breast cancer you have? The time lapse between diagnosis and appointment varies considerably from clinic to clinic. The best people to ask about this are the members of your care team, as they will know what the waiting time is likely to be in your local area. You could try phoning your breast care nurse for guidance.

I have had 2 bouts of early stage breast cancer and have had a lumpectomy, followed by a double mastectomy the following year. That was 14 years ago now and I still lead a busy and fulfilling life - I'm sure that you will too.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
