    How long...
    I started with chemo, had 1st of 2 surgeries, then lastly had rads. Chemo ended the middle of Sept (6 rounds) and had 1st surgery last week of Nov...2nd surgery 2 weeks after that. Doctor wanted a clearer margin. End of Dec is when I started 31 txs of rads.

    Warm regards to all.

    What next...
    My oncologist says we must wait 3 to 7 weeks after surgery to start the chemo. I had more test to have..PET scan and Muga scan, got their resutls, I don't have a treatment start date but I'd put my $$$ on starting the second week of Jan.
