Waiting for chemo date after mastectomy?

Was just wondering how long people have to wait for chemo to start once your mastectomy is done? 

I’ve been told that it could be 2-3 months before I get an appointment with the oncologist to start chemo and it seems a long time to me? 

Has anyone else experienced this? 

Thanks Pray 

  • Hi  

    I had a lumpectomy at the end of April 2022, saw my oncologist at the beginning of June and started chemo on 6 July, so about 10 weeks later.

  • My first appointment with the oncologist will be just over 6 weeks after my mastectomy. It hasn’t been confirmed yet whether I will have chemo but I suspect that I will. Hope your treatment goes as well as possible.
