Radiation waiting times

Hi @MrsMorrisey, I had my DMX on 1 April 2020, and radiation started 24 June 2020. Not as long a wait time as you, but still long. I know with chemo there is a certain timeframe for it to be effective, but I don’t think the same applies to radiation. I think it’ll be just as effective even if started a bit later. (I could be wrong though). Good luck. 

Yep @MrsMorrisey - mine 'could have been' about the same delay from surgery to Rads.  It was Mid Jan for surgery & I finished my rads the week of Easter (end of March) - but I was also given the option of 4 weeks later if I preferred to wait til after my 'holiday' to Norfolk Island which would have brought it in line with your treatment, Mid-late April - my Onc saying it wouldn't make any difference which date i chose ... but I chose to have it done before my trip ....

Back in 2018 they weren't 'as busy' as they obviously are now up there!  xx

Take care

Cheers @FLClover I’ve always liked  your posts. You’ve got a good sense of humour. Same as mine so you must be funny 😂😂
and yes @arpie every woman and her dog has cancer in Port at the moment. Apparently one of the machines broke down. I asked this morning if I could be pushed forward a bit and the receptionist nearly choked. She said it’s like Tetris trying to organise appts and treatments. 

Thanks @MrsMorrisey, they do say laughter is the best medicine, and humour does help me a great deal through ‘shitshows’ like this breast cancer gig. Good luck with radiation, and make sure to moisturise sufficiently. Fresh aloe from the leaf and a saline soak helped me enormously when treatment had finished 🍀.
