Hey Liz,

I think I can help with this...if a biopsy has been done and even better, if there are PT/CT scans that can be looked at, we can sometimes be seen at the CCC's within a week. I know when I called, they were able to see Bill within about 5 days. It does depend on the individual specialists, but with a little tenacity on the patient's or caregiver's part, you can be seen by a number of specialists within a couple of weeks here in the US. I just stayed on the phone until I got the appts we needed.
