From the time you were diagnosed how long did it take before you had chemo or surgery?    I've had a kidney cancer thrown my way while testing for the breast cancer.

 I found out I had bc on May 22. 

Met with Breast Cancer Team on June 10 (underwent 2 days of ct w/scans, bone scans, etc.) got the "all clear" except the kidney tumor on the lower pole of my kidney.  

Met with uro and had kidney biopsy.   Grade 1 slow growing cancer and will have it removed.  

I had surgery on July 30 to remove kidney tumor.    Huge success.

Have my first consult w/oncologist on August 28 and should start chemo the 1st week of September.  I'm having neoadjuvant chemo and then bilateral mastecomies after that.

So, from the time I found out about my bc until me getting my 1st treatment it will be 3 months.   When are you are the one going through it 3 months seems like an eternity but I hear that's pretty much the "norm".  

What are your expereinces.
