Hello
I was told chemo would start within 12 weeks post surgery (ULARS with Ileostomy completed on 4th Nov) for the best outcome. I've had an appointment with my oncologist to discuss everything and who told me chemo (Capox) would start after Christmas. But, I received a letter now saying my next appointment for a chat with the chemo nurses will be on 26th of Jan which is a day past the 12 weeks and with no date for chemo to actually start. I'm T3N2aM0V1. I'm fit and healthy (!) and have fully recovered from surgery). Really worried about the wait.
