I have had 2 wide local excisions & 4 nodes removed following recent invasive lobular carcinoma diagnosis. Apart from usual tenderness & swelling, no complications. Last surgery was 12 days ago. Now waiting for appt with Radiation Oncologist to start radiation treatment.
I booked a holiday to Darwin a year ago (soo excited) to be away for 3 weeks, in March. I am wondering what the 'window' of time is from surgery to starting radiation? I cant find info on that. So I return 24th March and hope to start rads then. This will be 8 weeks post-op. Is this appropriate? I'm a planner...need to organise!!

Hi Lisa,
I had surgery on 25 August and commenced radiation on on 12 October but I presume not everyone is the same.
Hope this helps and try enjoy your holiday.1
