Radiation wait.
Hi, recently diagnosed with breast cancer, IDC and within 2 weeks of the diagnosis I had a lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy at the Mount Hospital in Perth. Fairly good results by the way. I went thru the private system for the surgery but I have opted to go public for the radiation treatment. The earliest Royal Perth Hospital can give me an appointment to see a Radiation oncologist is in the middle of January and then the treatment may start a couple of weeks after then. My concern is that it is along period to wait before having treatment, I thought it may be a 8 week wait max. After surgery. Is this normal or should I be trying to get into the other public hospital here in Perth?
Any comments would be appreciated, Angela.
