Interupted radiotherapy treatment due to broken machine

Hi Aggie, yes, my radiotherapy was interrupted more than once either because it was a bank holiday or the machine was broken. I think so long as you get all the sessions you need done it’s fine , it’s still frustrating though when you just want to get the treatment finished. 

Hi Aggie L , I had 15 sessions 5 years ago when that was the norm. I started on a Tuesday so had several 2 day breaks as no rads at the weekend. And like Ulan has said, bank holidays also get in the way! My understanding is that it’s the cumulative total dose that matters. But I bet you just want it to be finished! Fingers crossed you can have that final dose tomorrow xxx

Thank you so much for your reassure. All the best wishes xxx

Just got to my delayed appointment which I knew about and had duly informed transport, to find it’s even more delayed! An extra 35 minutes…..

but this is in a huge hospital with 6 machines. Apparently one of the machines had a breakdown. 

hope you get sorted soon
