I wonder if anyone can advise on average waiting time between surgery and Chemo starting? I had surgery 7 weeks ago and was told that I will need Chemo but is there an optimal time for getting Chemo started to be effective?

Thanks all

    Hi. I had breast cancer 6 years ago and what I can remember is I had my op then had to wait about 5 to 6 weeks to heal. Then my chemo started. I had 6 lots. With a couple of weeks break in between. Then after that I had to go get measured up fir 5 weeks of radiotherapy daily. Where thst put little tattoo markings on to see where the laser hits. Here if you want to ask me anything else xxx

  • Hi Togo, thanks for the info and I'm hopeful that I hear something this next week for an Oncology appointment. The waiting is always the hardest!
