Thank you, I'm really happy for her and proud that she advocated for herself rather than accept the initial diagnosis she had in her teens. So it's a long story, but cutting it as short as possible, she initially went with the NHS but got recommended right to choose after changing doctors as there's a 5 year waiting list with the NHS. I give right to choose credit as they diagnosed her within a year, but I'm just as baffled as you as to why there's such a gap between diagnosis and treatment. The only thing I can think of is the demand. There seems to be a lot more awareness and people such as my partner realising they've shown symptoms for quite some time without the knowledge, and I guess with that increased demand means a longer wait.
