Sadly, nothing will happen as quickly as you desire. From diagnosis to actual first treatment can easily run a month; it was that way for me, and that way for lots of others. So, be patient; they aren't trying to make you wait; it just takes that long. Use this time productively to educate yourself with material from the OCF website. Try not to worry; that's way easier said than done, but worrying really won't help anything.
Stay busy and keep us informed regularly on what your going through.
take care
