Hi SusieC,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. This is often something that people consider, and whether to do it really depends on each person's circumstances and preferences. If you are financially covered for it, then that takes away one of the main reasons people have for not doing it. However, while up to 10 weeks sounds a long time, it could be a lot worse and in particular at the moment where waiting times are generally longer.

It may be best to talk this through with your doctor so you can understand your options and any potential benefits.

Otherwise if anyone here has any similar experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben
