Hi there
had lumpectomy on 1st March. Still waiting for radiotherapy. How soon after lumpectomy should it star.
thanks
dinner lady
Hi again I'm having 5 as I've had 6 rounds of chemo and surgery hope this helps
Thanks for replying. Not having chemotherapy thankfully. Hope you’re doing ok.
Today is my 1 year anniversary of my lumpectomy. I had 5 sessions of radiotherapy which should have been 8 weeks post surgery but I contracted covid.I found the radiotherapy very tiring and uncomfortable at times even though I had full movement back in arm and shoulder.
Hope that all goes well for you
I have been having the odd issue or 2. But breast nurses have reassured me that it all seems natural. I didn't realise that 9 months down the line the radiation would still be working now. Just glad that its all done.
