Question

After my Chemo oncologist puts me on the right path to take yesterday and he picks me up off the floor and explained it&nbsp; x 2 times that there was only 1% difference in my results in taking hormone and chemo together vs hormone on its own. results no chemo not gonna put u through all that for that 1%.&nbsp; Also i mentioned&nbsp;our &nbsp;trip to the USA in Sept &nbsp;for a month&nbsp;he said have ya hoilday enjoy ya holiday start ya treatment when u get back ive no problem with u starting ya hormone then. But it is up to your radio oncologist but im sure she will agree. If so i wont be starting treatments until Oct/Nov. then the Hormone. I always thought time was the essence !!!! can this be right im i getting in front of my self.&nbsp; Has anyone have this happen to them or know of this &nbsp;...???

I could be wrong but I thought radiotherapy had to happen within 9 weeks of surgery unless you were having chemotherapy.Why not ring the cancer council on 13 11 20&nbsp; cos treatments etc change all the time.

I'm so glad you get to go on your wonderful holiday.The last 4 weeks will seem like a bad dream once you take off. Have a great trip.
