I have been diagnosed via scans 6 days ago. Am on drugs in hospital. Review by to team next Tuesday to decide treatment. When should I get Biopsy and how long after for surgery
I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It's difficult to know exactly how long you'll have to wait for a biopsy and surgery, but the best people to ask would be your medical team. You might have other questions as well and it might help to write them down and take them with you, to ensure all your questions are covered when you speak to them. I hope your appointment on Tuesday goes ok and do keep us updated.

Many thanks. Do the surgeons go with a biopsy as a must or how often can they go straight to surgery relying on alll extensive scans . Hoping to hear after the Team meeting Tuesday. In 10 days at hospital I never met any of the brain/ cancer team. Is that normal? RT ichard
It's understandable that you would want answers ricbux. In the meantime, if you'd like to discuss this with one of our cancer nurses you can contact the team on the free helpline on 0808 800 4040.
