Diagnosed six months ago and still no treatment

I was diagnosed at the end of June with IDC and it's positive in at least one node (that's how I felt the cancer) and my surgery isn't until September 26th, three months later. I thought that was absurd, but they keep telling me how slow moving breast cancer is and because I'm not triple negative, they said there isn't any reason to rush. There isn't even any further testing to do. My appointment is just that far out. Drives me nuts but I'm just taking the time to clean the house and get everything set to prepare for being out of commission for a while.

In my recent research I was reading about how the size increases after the first 30 days of diagnosis. Most places push for chemo or surgery within those first 30 days. I would definitely be pushing for something sooner. Those wait times are ridiculous.

from mammogram to surgery for me was 4 months. But like Remy wrote above, there were biopsies, MRIs and more biopsies during that timeframe. From final scan/biopsy results to surgery was about a month. I had BMX with immediate DIEP reconstruction in NOLA at the Center for Restorative Breast Surgery.

ElleElleBee & Jewell-where are you going for the surgery? Is the delay a result of ORs being booked up or the surgeon's schedule? I'd worry I was put on the back burner. With that being said if your cancer isn't aggressive and another woman's is and that's how they prioritized I would also understand. (Like the ER taking the heart attack, stroke or head trauma case before the guy who is there with a broken arm/leg/etc). It doesn't hurt to speak up and ask questions - even question the doctor - and ask for further clarification if the answer doesn't make sense to you.

The extended wait does not sound right - my experience was totally different. I had a routine mamogram on April 14 which resulted in Birads 5, I had my breast surgeon call me immediately to see her, my obgyn called me to make sure I had already spoken to my breast surgeon, and my general practicioner called me to make sure I was contacting the doctors. I had my biopsy on April 28, officially diagnosed on May 2, my first lumpectomy on May 18, did not get clear margins and had microinvasion and was schedule for the second one June 18, started radiation treatment on July 18, and start with hormonal treatment on Sept 1. Already have a follow up with the breast surgeon scheduled for 3 months, radiation oncologist for a month, and the medical oncologist for 6 weeks after starting the pill. This is such a worldwind journey - the wait is the most excruciating - and I cannot imagine having to wait so long.

go to another dr. Something is wrong
