  • @Tarma Mine started 3 weeks after surgery 
    everyones order of treatment does vary. I was chemo 1st. Then surgery then radiation the rads were delayed by a week as my scar wasn’t quite healed enough had to do a course of antibiotics first. 
  • Usual reply: It varies! However, I think my experience was fairly typical. Radiation started three weeks after chemo finished. Best wishes for your radiation - mine was easy peasy - well, apart from a few skin peely issues, but that all cleared up very quickly.
