Hi my surgery was 11 august I had thought this week - week three after op I would have had appointment with oncologist for a start dare re radiotherapy

Am I right do rads normally start four weeks after surgery?

Just want it to be over

I don’t know what surgery you had, but within 2 weeks after I had my WLE (‘lumpectomy’) and sentinel node biopsy in early July I saw the surgeon again to get my results and check healing. Only then was an appointment made with the oncologist, nearly 6 weeks after surgery - I think they usually allow at least 6 weeks to heal properly before radiotherapy.

Hi

 

I had Lumpectomy on 29th Jan, saw the oncologist on 19th March and started my Radiotherapy on 3rd April. That was 9 weeks after surgery. All hospitals are different. Hope you hear soon keep us posted.
