Have any of you started radiation as early as 3 weeks and 3 days after surgery? I'm trying to figure out if I…

Bean sprouts

I have one of 'those' decisions to make...I saw the oncologist today. Now he wants me to take a break from chemo. He doesn't know how long the break would be, that would be determined by future ct scans.
