Blood Tests

Hi All,

About to start 15 sessions of rads after finishing chemotherapy 3 weeks ago and I am told I will not be having any blood tests prior to treatment.

I have read that the effectiveness of the radiotherapy can be significantly reduced if bloods are not good?

I just managed to scrape through with my bloods for the last chemo but feeling ok as long as I don’t do anything too physical.

Just wondered if others have had blood tests during rads?
