Started my chemo 6 wks after WLE, but waited 2 weeks for node biopsy results the 4 weeks for chemo.
Nah then, are you from Sheffield being a doodaa lass? Or is it a different term?

Hi
Had my lumpectomy / node removal 16th May and started chemo 14th June, so in my case 4 weeks between.

I had mastectomy and LD flap recon (no node clearance) and had my first chemo 4 weeks later. I think it depends on individual circumstances and how your surgeon and oncologist feel you are healing after surgery.
Good luck with your treatment
