Hi Terry, I can certainly understand why you want the surgery sooner rather than later. I couldn’t stand the though of the cancer being inside me one second longer than necessary. It is my understanding that waiting 2 months is not unusual from the end of chemo to the RC date. In fact, that is exactly how long I had between my chemo and RC. The chemo takes quite a toll on the body and even though it sounds like you feel well, I think its not a bad idea to get even stronger before the RC. The recovery from the RC can be very slow and frustrating, so think of this as your time to enjoy yourself before the hard work begins. If are really anxious about the wait time, have a talk with your doctor.
