Appraisal Delay: This occurs when a person decides to take the symptom seriously, such as getting a lump checked.

Behavioral Delay: This is the time between thinking about getting treatment and getting it.
Medical Delay: This is known as the time frame between when someone decides to seek treatment, make an appointment and finally be able to attend said appointment.
