I’ve just been given a date to start radiotherapy which I’m pleased about as I’m not the best at waiting.
It’s going to be 5 days starting on a Wednesday, with Saturday and Sunday off.
I thought it had to be 5 consecutive days??
Will it be as effective?
Appreciate anyones thoughts on this and if anybody has had the same.
Thanks xx
Hi
Mine is going to be the same, starting in a few weeks. Im think I read they might have to have a break if the machine is having some maintenance done there will be no treatment that day, but will still receive the same dose.
I assumed it would be Monday- Friday but I start on a Tuesday.

Hi there….I’ve never heard of anyone getting planned radiotherapy over the weekend……if you start on a Tuesday…you finish on a Monday……and so on….it’s very normal.
hope yours goes well
