Hi All
Could anyone tell me how many weeks usually do you have for radiotherapy.?x
Hi. Have a look at the main radiotherapy thread too - it may have dropped off front page. I was told 15 is the standard minimum but some places condense this into 5 more intense sessions. It depends on hospital and what they do. Everyone is different so its up to the oncology team to decide how many you need x
I’ve just had 5 rounds. I was told they have new research and depending on your type and size of cancer depends on whether you need 5 or 15 rounds. There is another thread like tired minion said which had some good Information on it. Sorry I can’t remember the tittle but it should come up in a search. Do you know how much you will be having? Xx
