Hi and a warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear that your treatment hasn't started yet. There are targets that are set for the NHS to start treatment and, if you click on this link, you'll see that currently treatment should start no more than 62 days from when the hospital receives an urgent referral for suspected cancer and no more than 31 days from when you agreed with your doctor what the course of treatment would be.
If you could tell me what type of cancer you're being treated for I could point you in the direction of a suitable group where you can find out what sort of waiting times others had.
