I have had alot of surgeries during weekly Herceptin and Navelbine treatments. I get my treatments on Fridays. I was able to have most of my surgeries on a Monday or Tuesday most of the time, so I would be feeling better by Friday.
The only time I skipped my treatments in the last 8 1/2 years was when one of the anethesiologists gave me too much anethesia and I was still "hung over" on Friday when I showed up for my treatment. The oncologist took one look at me and helped me walk to the chemo room. He asked the nurses to put me to bed for the rest of the afternoon without my treatment. He came back at the end of the day to give me a check up and make sure I was okay to come home.
You better check with all your docs. Everyone's body is different.
Good luck.
