hi I'm post lumpectomy surgery I'm going for radiation planning on the 9th December which will be 9 weeks after the surgery and I don't actually start the radiation until the 18th December which will be 10 weeks I asked the BCN about the long wait for treatment she just said the department is very busy.... I asked about reoccurrence while waiting she said it wouldn't be possible for the cells to start behaving badly in this short time I don't know if she's just saying this to shut me up I've even rang up for any cancellations but wasn't any I know the feeling of waiting is horrible I've been on this journey with a lot of anxiety and waiting for results of tests etc has been the worst I was thankful and lucky not to have chemo. I hope you get your treatment soon .

best wishes marie x

Thanks for your reply Marie. 

It's so frustrating. And no one seems to care. 

Cells double every 1-3 months according to what I've googled. 

I'll be nearly 10 weeks by the time they start. 

Silver lining is no treatement Xmas week. 

I hope yours goes OK x 

Anna
