I think anxiety is the biggest problem with extended dates - whether the cancer actually spreads or not, the worry that it is doing so must be extreme. I had only six days between biopsies and surgery, three between confirmation of malignancy and surgery, and that was quite enough. Still got lymphoedema though, which I’ve attributed to the sheer number of lymph nodes removed (all enlarged and suspicious at biopsy time) although only the biopsied one turned out to be malignant.
