I first became aware of a change in one boob July 2019.  I'm 74 yrs old.  Following fast track breast clinic and being told tumour was small a wide excision with sentinel node biopsy was done on 30.8.19     waited 3 weeks for surgery

4 weeks later I was told I needed dissection of axillary lymph nodes.   Depending on result might need CT &bone scan

I requested a CT scan before surgery 4 weeks before any surgery.

Another 4 week wait for results and told cancer found in 9 lymph nodes.  When I asked about the CT scan the response was what scan!!

The scan hadn't been reported on 6 weeks It showed extensive  bone changes to spine, pelvis, sternum. Told bone metastasis.

2 weeks later saw Oncologist.  Started on Lexotrol tablets. Scans inconclusive need PETscan.  3 weeks later PET scan requested

5 weeks later starting radiotherapy

I would like to know.  Is there an ageism policy? Is this the norm?
