Hi justwant2bme
Thanks for posting.
You explain you are starting three weeks of radiotherapy on the 6th February. You say you have a GP appointment to have Zoladex on 2nd December. As you ask if you can have Zoladex and radiotherapy at the same time we wonder if you mean your GP appointment is on the 2nd of February.
If so, it’s usually possible to have these treatments at the same time. You can also check this with your treatment team.
Here is our information about exemestane and you may be interested in the range of free services we offer.

Your call will be confidential, and the number is free from UK landlines and all mobile networks.
The number is 0808 800 6000, (Relay UK -prefix 18001).
