Welcome to the forum. I would like to say that they are waiting too long, but I'm not qualified to say that.
When my cancer symptoms first appeared it took longer than I wanted to get me into surgery. Of course, all of us want the world to stop and move us to 1st in line. Unfortunately that's not the way it works.
About all I can see for options is for you to move to a different set of doctors and or different hospital that can get you what you need quicker. That you say these doctors are very competent indicates that you like them, so I can also see you not wanting to abandon them.
More than once in my cancer journey I've been told to go home, sit tight, and wait for us to call. I've had to learn to accept that.
Good luck on this journey, we are all here for you.
Tony
P.S. I can't see any problem with a little wine.
