RT is it possible to pause during the treatment

Hello Aubutied1c171 

Good question but the answer is NO! My understanding is that the radiotherapy works on a cumulative basis and indeed it's my understanding that a significant pause in fractions could leave you at risk of the cancer returning.

There is no issue with missing the two days at weekend.

Thanks for your answer millibob, I will probably also confirm with my oncologist at the next meeting, but gives me a better idea of where I stand if unforeseen circumstances occur

When I went to the oncologist with my LH he specifically said that you should not miss any sessions once the course had started and I remember wondering what you would do if you had flu or something.......

My wife had Covid when I was having RT. I was told to test every day for it and was told that if I contracted it they’d prepare a RT session for me in isolation. I nevertheless wore masks once my wife tested positive. I never did test positive. The radiographers were adamant about me not missing a session
