WowGinGirl you have been through the wringer. Chin up Easy to say hard to do. From experience. Definitely . Radiation was the easiest part compared to everything else. I drew the short straw.

your treatment team will let you know. Mine was about 3 weeks after surgery.
keep us posted with how you go. The waiting for answers etc is the hardest part of all with this path we travel.
