Hi, how long did you have to wait for a Lumpectomy after being diagnosed ?
Hello Lush - before pandemic from being referred from doctors there would be a 'two week' fast track to be seen and get diagnosed following this I think most waits would be around 3 to 4 weeks..... this said, I think it all depends on treatment required and hospital waiting times.
Now following pandemic I am not sure how much this as affected times.
Sending love and hugs to you xx
Hi Lush
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I was diagnosed with breast cancer three weeks ago and I'm having my lumpectomy next week.
Wishing you the best of luck with your operation when you have it.
Best wishes

Hi. I had my lumpectomy two weeks after diagnosis but I am in the fortunate position of having private Bupa cover through my work.
Hi,
Thank you all for the replies. I was told on the 28th March I had breast cancer, confirmed on the 6th April. Still waiting for a date and I am struggling. Got signed off from work yesterday. The waiting is so difficult. Just want to move forward with it and have the surgery.
Xx
The waiting is the hardest part of all !! I was diagnosed 23rd March and had my lumpectomy Saturday 22nd of April hang on in there I’m sure it will happen soon x
