Radiotheraphy after chemotheraphy

Hello everybody!

I’d like to know how long should be the maximum time after chemo when you must begin the radiotheraphy?

NICE guidelines 31 days, but it is a guide. It is normall when there is a gap to accomodate your treatment.

Where I am in Birmingham they’ve stared interleaving radio with chemo as a result of recent research reported here birmingham.ac.uk/news/latest/2011/09/24Sep11Radiotherapybetweenorduringchemotherapycyclesreducesriskofbreastcancerrecurrence.aspx

I think it depends on your diagnosis as to what is most effective for you.
