Hi all,

What are your average waiting times for diagnosis to treatment starting, I’m 8 weeks in and it looks like I’ve another 4 weeks to wait! Mainly because of a misdiagnosis to start, they thought my breast cancer had gone to my liver, lots of scans told them it wasn’t and is in fact in my spine and hip, more scans, waiting for mri results and I’ve to see a radiologist next week.

many thanks

  • All waiting times are different across the UK. 
    I am in the north west and mine went quickly. 

    Had biopsy 8/5/24, diagnoised 24/5/24, seen oncologist 11/6/24 then started chemo 17/6/24. So I was on treatment about 6 weeks from biopsy. 

    it happened very quickly and like I say, it depends where you are but breast and prostate are usually the quickest I think as more has been put into those. 

    Hopefully  you will start some treatment soon. Xx
