I’m new here and I’d like to say hello to everyone.
I was told beginning of august that I have Invasive Ductal breast cancer, found after a routine NHS breast mammogram in July. There was no outward sign and apparently it’s deep within the breast. I have still not started any treatment, as there was a discrepancy of the lump size from the mammogram and subsequent ultrasound. I’ve had various tests since then as first test showed it was in my armpit lymph node.
Is it normal to wait so long between diagnosis and treatment? I understand that it’s best to know exactly what’s happening so I can get the best treatment, but it’s taking forever and I’m scared.
