How long does it take to start breast cancer treatment after diagnosis?

Just received a diagnosis? You're not alone.

The timing for starting breast cancer treatment can vary based on many factors, but healthcare teams generally work to begin treatment within a few weeks of diagnosis once staging is complete. While waiting for rescheduled appointments can feel overwhelming, taking the time needed for proper staging helps ensure the most effective treatment plan - and many patients in this community have shared similar experiences with appointment delays that didn't impact their outcomes.
