Could anyone tell me how long is normal to wait for a partial nephrectomy? I have been to see the specialist FINALLY after nearly 4 weeks of waiting from diagnosis. After ringing my GP to send the referral because they had lost it and then waiting for the Consultant to read it before seeing me, he didnt tell me anything that I didnt already know. I have been told that Bladder cancer has a higher priority ( this I can quite understand) and that I should have an operation within 6 -8 weeks but it could be later depending on bladder cancer cases. I feel very frustrated as I still feel like Im in the dark. Nobody has recommended any cancer support (Found this site myself), I really feel I am just a number and not a person.
