Hi, I have just had my last chemo and will now start radiotherapy. Does anyone know how long after I can start ? Thanks
Hi Shar58
My chemo was 21 day cycles and the radiotherapy started after the 21 days. I had the appointment to do the consents for radiotherapy before the last cycle. I had the radiotherapy planning scan before the last chemo as the planning can take a couple of weeks and they wanted to get prepared. There is some variation between hospitals though. Mine was very much get straight on to it after the last cycle of chemo was done.
