How long is normal to wait for an oncologist appointment after diagnosis?

I saw oncologist one week after my urologist told me I had a high grade, incurable, but treatable cancer. That’s a good thing, because I don’t wait well, and they would’ve learned that.

Thank you

Wait times for oncologist appointments can vary significantly depending on location, healthcare system, and specialist availability, though many cancer centers aim to see newly diagnosed patients within 1-2 weeks. It's completely understandable to feel anxious about the timing, especially with a new diagnosis. Consider calling the oncologist's office to ask about cancellation lists or express the urgency of your situation, and don't hesitate to reach out to your primary care doctor or the physician who made the diagnosis to discuss next steps while waiting for your appointment.
