Newly diagnosed early stage breast cancer

Offline Jo17812 over 2 years ago

Hi everyone, I've just been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. Can I ask how long people waited for a lumpectomy? This will be the start of my treatment and i'm now waiting for the surgery date. I have read on the NHS Cancer Guidelines surgery should be within 31 days of diagnosis but I know the NHS still has a backlog of patients awaiting surgery.

Hi I was diagnosed with breast cancer 15th Feb 2023 - on 15 th March I had a lumpectomy. NHS were brilliant all the way. I also have to say that the chat forum on here helped me so much too. Having someone to chat to who had been through similar was such a massive help to me xx

Hi, I been looking into how long people wait.
I was diagnosed middle of July, after a month of waiting as the team lost my notes, I’m due to have a lumpectomy early September. Will be 3 months from the day I first went to GP.
