Timescale for treatment following diagnosis?

I would have thought she would have got her medication quicker than that.  I was given my Letrozole prescription (to take to my GP) on the same day I was told it was part of the treatment plan. I got the chemo tablet directly from the hospital the following week. 
I suggest phoning the Oncologists secretary or her nurse.  
Hope that helps.

Thank you for sharing your experience - this is what I would have expected. It is so frustrating that she’s having to keep chasing and getting passed from pillar to post. 

Hi

My experience was a little different.

I got the diagnosis over the phone, then it was 2 weeks before I saw the oncologist. I was prescribed Letrozole and Zoladex through the GP. Couldn't start taking the Letrozole until (conflicting instructions for Consultants) either 2 or 6 weeks from the Zoladex injection.

It was about two weeks from the face to face with Consultant before they started the Ribociclib. Unfortunately, I seem to have had a serious side effect from  this medication and I'm currently hospitalised with a dodgy liver.

I hope your friend gets the medication soon, once they start the treatment it helps dealing with  diagnosis. And, I've met so many people with positive experiences on that combination.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’m sorry to hear you’ve had side effects a hope you are able to leave hospital soon.

It seems like there is not one process and it’s all the uncertainty / miscommunication that’s making things even worse at the moment.
