Hiya, I was just wondering how long it generally takes on average between diagnosis and the start of treatment? I know it will vary but was just trying to get a rough idea. 

I've had an appointment through for my CT scan next Saturday but not heard about the PET scan yet. 

  • Hi again  

    Unlike Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma where for lots of folks can go a period of time on Active Monitoring…. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma tends to be treated rather quickly. So once your scans are done and your team have a clear staging you would expect a treatment plan to be put in place but the treatment plan will depend wholly on your stage.
