How long after being diagnosed with BC did u have/start treatment?
I feel like i have been going in circles. With test and options but no action. Just wondering how long others waited?

Hi @Lulu28, I also went private. Diagnosed 20/7/16, referral to surgeon 25/7, surgery 1/8/16.
I had a left nipple sparing mastectomy with immediate silicone implant and fortunately my cancer was low grade with clear nodes so no chemo needed. It can all be a bit clunky at this stage but once a treatment plan is worked out, things will start to move fast and you will be on a roller coaster you can’t get off. Do you have a GP who can give you some advice? Definitely seek a second opinion if you aren’t happy - you are the most important person at this time. Being confident in your medical team is so importanf. Glad you have found us. You will have a lot of support from everyone here. All the best, Jane x
