Chemo after surgery

Hi. I had surgery at the end of April and started chemo middle of July, so around 10 weeks. They did have to re-test my HER2 as was borderline so this added an extra couple of weeks.

Best wishes, Debbie x

I was waiting several weeks too. Initial op date cancelled as MRI picked up further tumours unfortunately. So then delayed and waiting around 10 weeks from surgery to chemo xx

Had surgery 22nd April then started chemo 14 th June now having radio as had to have another op in October . Good luck x

The time frame for me is the same talked with my surgeon today and  she sent a message to oncology she said it would be a three week wait.  I know waiting is the hardest part.  Stay positive I’m sure if it was urgent they would have you in there already.  

Hi, there is a good reason for a slight delay before chemo. My oncologist told me that once on chemo all healing stops so you have to be at a certain point of healing.

i see my oncologist tomorrow for my Oncotype result. This will be 7 weeks after surgery although I am only just healed as got an infection in my wound.

suspect I will be having chemo, based on previous oncologist visit
