Left in limbo after diagnosis

Thanks all. It's been very useful and reassuring knowing the public system timeline. It does sound like a much slower process than I was expecting. I just thought that once you were diagnosed with cancer, the next day you would be whisked off for treatment! The waiting part and not knowing anything other than I have cancer is very hard as I have googled to much and now think the worst. Every little twinge in my arm or leg and I think the cancer is there too. Any advice on not over thinking things?
