Chemo delay
Chemo delay Had my mastectomy end Jan and my wound just won’t heal up completely, due to radiotherapy in 1996. Have had all sorts of dressings, currently on seaweed! My ONC tells me that its OK for the delay before starting chemo, but mind is starting to go into overdrive. Anyone else had recurrence in same breast like this. The waiting for kicking this bc into touch is driving me nuts.

Hi Amdamc Sorry to hear your chemo has been delayed. Mine was back last June. My fault, I fell and fractured my leg , dislocated a thumb and fractured it.
Chemo was delayed for 2 wks. I also missed one of the day 8’s of cmf because of a very bad bout of oral thrush. The consultants weren’t too worried on both occasions. They said it can be quite common for chemo to be delayed a little and for 1 treatment to be missed.
If your really worried about it, speak to your oncologist and tell them. They may be able to set your mind at ease.
All the best with your treatment. I’m waiting to have my 1st mammogram since diagnosis and treatment.
