Just out of curiosity... what do you consider and acceptable time between diagnosis and treatment?

I have been very lucky in that someone has helped me maneuver my way through this whole thing otherwise I suspect it would have been late february before I had even met with a specialist. (diagnosed on the 20th of dec)

I am just curious as to what your experiences have been. I know things are a little different in the states, but I would still like an idea of what you consider a reasonable wait time.

Thanks.
