I was diagnosed with stage 3, ER positive breast cancer in February. During my first meeting with the surgeon I was told they found cancer in my breast and lymph nodes. The planning of my treatment was postponed because I needed another biopsy in my breast and because I complained about pain in my chest and shoulder, I was also referred for CT scan. Scan showed something in the middle of my chest they wanted to double check, so I was referred for a PET scan. At the same time I was to start my hormonal treatment (Zoladex injections and Letrozole tablets). PET scan showed tumour on my thymus gland doctors in breast clinic decided to refer me for another biopsy to cardio-thoracic team. They send urgent referral on 4/04/2025. And I’m still waiting. I called hospital today and was told that email from my doctors is with the surgeon since last Monday. It’s been a month since my PET scan and over 2 month since my diagnosis. I’m starting to feel really anxious that even after such a long time I know very little about my illness and have no plan of treatment . I’m afraid my chances are getting smaller with every passing week. Is it normal to wait for so long?
