Hello Colin,

Welcome , we are sorry you find it necessary to be here, but you are in the right place. I guarantee you no one will be offended by your posting. The only reason people don't receive answers sometimes is no one has an answer.

I believe there is one member maybe more whose husband has gone through treatment with diabetes. Hopefully they will see your post.

As far as waiting for diagnosis and treatment, to me that seems very long. Do they not move people ahead depending on need and the types of problems they have? If you are indeed diagnosed with cancer this isn't a slow growing type of cancer. Please read around the main site and the message boards for information that may prepare you. And know that we'll be here if you need us.

Take care,
Dinah
