is this a normal time frame?

My most recent MRI shows new lesions on my spinal cord, so I have been reffered to the MS nurse to start treatment. I asked my neurolgist "how long till i start treatment?" and she said could take a few months to a year just to get the face to face appointment with the nurse. Then depending on the treatment, if it requires a hospital visit, it could take longer. I was diagnosed in March

@IrishNoodl3 When I was in your (identical) situation, the neuro advised my results in Dec 17 and I was on treatment by Apr 18 so 4mth process. You would expect it to be a little longer now as NHS waiting lists are now longer than they were 7.5yrs ago but I think a year seems a bit pessimistic and unfair on you.
