I was newly diagnosed with breast cancer on the 11th of July. 3 biopsies were taken and sent away for analysis on that day. From the mammograms and scans they think my tumour is approximately 2cm plus a smaller secondary one. I was supposed to go in tomorrow for meeting my consultant to discuss my treatment plan (NHS). I have just had a call from the hospital to say the appointment has been cancelled and they have given me one for in a weeks time. I am disappointed and confused. They have said there is a backlog and the pathologist hasn't reported back on the samples yet. Another full week seems a long time to wait when I am feeling emotional and concerned about what possible treatment I am going to be getting. Has this happened to anyone else? I didn't get angry on the phone as I know it's not the nurses fault but now I am left feeling sad I have to wait another whole week of not knowing x any tips how to cope this week??? Thanks.
