time gap from surgery to starting of Radiation therapy
Hello everyone, I have a super quick question, from the time that you had your surgery, how long was it till you started your radiation therapy? and if the dates didn't a line with your life and needs...
Hi @Maree72
I had my mastectomy on 6 October 2020 and started radiotherapy mid November 2020.
I had a week delay from the planned start date as I still had a lot of pain and was struggling to hold my left arm up above my head.
I didn’t have chemo .
Not sure if that helps - I got the impression from the radiation oncologist she wanted to start as soon as possible subject to me having the physical ability to deal with it.
