Hi

So sorry to hear of your diagnosis.  I was diagnosed sane as you, ER+Her2+ grade 3 idc last August. With all the tests that are required, i.e. CT scans, mri's etc I would say it was approximately 6weeks from first appointment to starting chemotherapy. I then had 6 sessions followed by a mastectomy in February. 

When you're first diagnosed it seems like you're on a rollercoaster with all the appointments but it dies gradually settle down.

I felt as though I had months if treatment in front of me which would drag, but to be honest it has all gone very quickly.

Wishing you all the best with your treatment,. If you have any other questions I'll do my best to answer with my experience.

Hi I was waiting 2 months before start treatment and that was last year before covid.Sometimes its good to call them and pesting them.There is no excuse that they are busy.I was suffering whilst waiting i couldn't even properly breath or walk.

So dont just wait if you feel so call them and keep chasing them.

Thanks for your reply Denise - abit of a stupid question but who did you call to chase this up? Was it just the hospital admin or a nurse etc? I dont have the doctors contact details and I haven't been referred to an oncologist just yet only a breast surgeon who originally diagnosed me 

Hello try to call the oncology dept.I have also an email on the top of the NHS letter or  call even the breast surgeon or the hospital admin.In my case i think they crossed the time limit for beginning for the treatment I had to threat them with the legal action.I am stage 4 cancer.Its disquisting how long they keep the people waiting.

Good luck

Denise
