Treatment timescales

I’m just wondering what waiting times people have had between being diagnosed with stage three melanoma and starting treatment.  I had MRI and CT scans three weeks ago and as yet, have not received a follow up appointment with oncology to either discuss the findings of the scans or what course of treatment I’ll be on.  Is this normal?

  • I’m in the same boat, originally stage 2c and now upgraded to Stage 3D after spread to axilla nodes and full excision in February. I finally have had the results of the post op scan and see the Oncology consultant next Monday re starting immunotherapy. Waiting has been about 4 months from positive lymph nodes being found to seeing Oncology. Time does drag!
