Wait sorry I disagree. You should have had your results two weeks post biopsy, at that point your dr. Should have made an appointment for a pet (right away) you should have had it by mid September, is is too long to wait if your not being seen by a ccc get to one speed is important when dealing with cancer. Also you will need to visit a dental concologist (for trays and removal of any teeth that might be an issue (if they are in the path of radiation) ) and a hearing test - all this will take time. The amount of time between dx and surgery for me was 6 weeks. Had radiation been needed instead of surgery (dependant on cancer type and location) it would have been maybe a week less as it was I had to wait to be scheduled for surgery. Dx'd dec 20 surgery feb 4. (this included christmas slow down) That's normal. 2 -3 months is not - and you haven't even gone for mask making etc.. Push - make noise. This is your health. Good luck - ps pet results are usually available withing 24 hrs max - do not wait a week for results. And try to get them to schedule the other things as well.
