Looking for a times scale to wait on a mastectomy with reconstruction with pre cancer cells

  • Hi Sherry b5dd91c,

    Welcome to the Macmillan Online Community. We hope you find it a warm and welcoming place to ask questions and seek support. I’m Kirstine, one of the information nurses here.

    It’s understandable why an answer to this question is important to you, but unfortunately, we do not have access to this type of information as it can vary across hospitals nationwide. The best place to ask will be directly with your treating team, perhaps your Clinical Nurse Specialist or Consultant may have a better idea of what their current waiting list and capacity look like, and how quickly they feel you should be invited to surgery based on the particulars of your diagnosis.

    If we can offer a listening ear or information about other aspects of your treatment, we’d be happy to chat with you and advise where we can. You may also be interested in chatting with others who might have lived experience similar to yours in our breast cancer forum.

    Wishing you the best moving forwards,

    Kindest regards,

    Kirstine – Macmillan
