Recently had surgery

Welcome, Summertime! I'm very sorry to hear about the multiple issues you've experienced since your surgery. I think the radiation oncologist you'll be seeing on Jan. 5th will be able to answer your question on the optimal timeframe for starting radiation. I began my external radiation approximately six weeks after my radical hysterectomy, but the only surgical complication I experienced was a head-to-toe rash on my body, after which my skin peeled off, and I had recovered by the six-week mark. I had five weeks of daily external radiation treatments and then had a week off before I had my internal radiation, which was done in the hospital in isolation. That was in 1999, and internal radiation is now done on an outpatient basis. I think some of the factors the answer to your question might take into account would be the type of radiation you will be having and what effect the radiation would have on any post-surgical issues you are still experiencing.

I did not have chemo, but I assume you will be able to get a similar answer on the timing of your treatment from the oncologist who will be overseeing your chemotherapy.

I hope your surgical complications dramatically improve by the time of your upcoming appointment with the radiation oncologist.

Wishing you the best.

I would only use CBD oil to relieve anxiety, myself. I know standard treatments (surgery, radiation, chemo) are nothing to be glad about, but they work so much of the time. I go with western medicine for cancer treatments, myself. I know that women here with serous will speak up. It is a more aggressive cancer than what I have. Again, I only use CBD for anxiety, and it has to be severe (as in first six months after diagnosis, when I was routinely a basket case).

CBD oil is not a known treatment for cancer. As others have stated, it might help with the side effects of treatment but it is not an approved treatment. As an analogy, if you presented to your doctors with a ruptured appendix you would have surgery to treat it, antibiotics to make sure you did not become septic. If you chose to add CBD oil to help with pain or anxiety ok, but CBD oil would do nothing to get rid of the infection of a burst appendix.

With stage 2 serous, your best chance at beating the cancer is surgery, chemo, and radiation, done as soon as possible as it is an aggressive cancer. If you need more medical help and support than you are getting from your current team, perhaps seek a 2nd opinion from a large cancer center who can at least confirm the course of your planned treatment is current and appropriate. I had a 2nd opinion from Mayo and never regretted it. I was diagnosed with 1a UPSC, with LVSI, I opted for chemo and radiation as soon as I was healed. Good luck to you.
