Radiotherapy over Christmas break

Hi there,

I am due to start Radiotherapy soon-I am almost 2 weeks post-op and am still awaiting a call from the Radiation Oncologist for a planning date for Radiotherapy. I have looked at other threads of conversation on here and it seems there are varying degrees and reasons for the timing of the start of Radiotherapy. I have been told that I will require approximately 5 weeks Radiotherapy, but I am concerned as there are only 5 weeks until Christmas and my Breast Care Nurse said that they will close down over the Christmas/New year period. I am wondering if anyone else has had Radiation treatment over this time of year and how was it planned to fit around the Christmas break? 

Thanks in advance,
Michelle  :)
