Thanks Mez
That is very helpful , I know I was told 30 days from diagnosis by the specialist to surgery where that is the first treatment ( as opposed to chemo first) as a guideline but these guidelines suggest 5 weeks from that diagnosis.
And of course they are just guidelines and every case is different.
In my case I had to have a Petscan before my surgery was booked in due to the large size of my tumour (5.5 cm) and not everyone would have one of those.There may be other investigations too that not all would have.
