Hello can anyone tell me how long you waited from Mapping to starting radiotherapy . It’s been two weeks now and I phoned yesterday to be told it’s still in planning .
Hi Hat
I think it was about 3 weeks but that was in 2022. It’s important they get the planning right. That’s the highly skilled bit, and this is peak summer holiday time. Please try not to worry.

Do you know how many days of radiotherapy you will be having? Mine was only 5 days. I was advised to stay out of swimming pools for a few days after treatment, but my skin rash / peeling didn’t appear until 5 or 6 weeks after treatment.
