Waiting and waiting

So sorry to hear, the waiting is always the worst time, I think the NHS are meant to start treating within 6 weeks of diagnosis and I'm not sure you always see an oncologist, whoever gave your Mum her diagnosis is a good place to start chasing, hoping you already have a Macmillan nurse who could also help or your GP.  Hope that helps, Ann

Hi Youhavegotthis

When I,was diagnosed last year I had a six week wait before I started treatment.

Best wishes

Hi, can I ask what area you are in please. I have a telephone call arranged next week for post op results, 5 1/2 weeks i have been waiting.  It should of been monday, now pushed back to thursday.  What this does to your mental health is unbelievable xx

Hi

I am sorry to hear this. We are based in Shropshire! I hope they get you sorted ASAP as it's horrendous feeling like nothing is happening zx

Sorry to hear that your results have been delayed Shaz52.

Best of luck with your results next week.

I can’t believe you are still waiting for your results Shaz52, fingers crossed for Thursday for you, let us know how it goes. xx

Hi, the waiting is unbearable, I waited 7 weeks first time round for HER2 results before they could start my treatment.  In the end my surgery was 2 months after my diagnosis, 3 months from me finding the lump.  There was a problem at the Lab in Birmingham (I am in wolverhampton) so might be affecting your mom too in Shropshire.

Thankfully my results after surgery came back in 3 weeks so didn’t have to endure such a long wait before next stage of treatment.

once they start the treatment they are amazing and you and your mom will feel the relief I am sure.

thinking of you xx

I will do, thank you afews days short of 6 weeks. I understand all results are important and urgent to each individual, but think I will flip if mine have been delayed unnecessary xx

Hi, did you have your surgery without yr her2 result xx

Thankyou, really test your mental health. Has your mom been given her her2 results now, if so what was the result.  Sending best wishes xx
