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
Hi Marie31
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.
