Hi everyone, I have had Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy as a neoadjuvant treatment for stage 3 bowel cancer, this has now been completed and I today recieved an email to say I have an appointment with the surgeon on the 24th Jan. Does anyone know how long from this I should expect my op to take place?
TIA
Hi Templeton I think it probably varies from hospital to hospital and how busy they are? I think my surgery was about 2 months after finishing chemoradiotherapy - it was originally scheduled for 7/12/16 but was brought forward a week as they had an operation booked in that needed both surgeons.
Take care
