I had my meeting 3 weeks ago where they told me that I had stage 2b. I since had my PET scan 2 weeks ago. How long do I have to wait until treatment starts?
I have a 9 year son who loves Christmas (and still believes) . We are also have a lodge booked over the festive period so need to know if I need to cancel due to treatment still taking place or able to use this break as a recovery phrase.
Hi Debbie45
I was diagnosed mid September and my treatment started the first week of November so it was about 6 weeks. It will depend on the hospital though, and when all your results are in and tests complete. You’ll need to have a CT planning scan before radiotherapy can start too. Can your consultant not give you an idea of the timescale?
