Time from diagnosis to surgery?

Hi Blu.  I was diagnosed in August this year and went for surgery 3 weeks later. 

Hi Lazy Daisy

im overweight too… by about 5 stone but anaesthetic was fine.  I’m a nurse too so let  me reassure you that there is less risk in you having the anaesthetic than there is in you driving into town … you will be fine x

Hi Blu

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have breast cancer.  I had my chemo before my surgery so I had to wait 6 months from diagnosis to surgery.

Wishing you the best of luck with your treatment.

Best wishes

I had an initial diagnosis after the biopsy on 6th April. I met my consultant at the end of April and my wide localised excision on 26th May followed by a re-excision on 23rd June. We moved house and area on 21st July and my week of radiotherapy in September. 

However I know everyone is different. My sister had to have chemotherapy before her partial mastectomy.
