Hi there kombi girl I'm north side of brissy and had my surgery within two weeks of my diagnosis at Redcliffe hospital. I'd ring the mater and ask for a date. You will need to see the surgeon to see what he or she recommends regarding your surgery and will also need to see the oncologist to see what he or she recommends treatment or not then you will know what you can do about your holiday. I started my chemo I think it was two weeks after my surgery from memory. It it will depend on what the oncol says Hope this helps. Margie ❤️
