Hi, you have an unusual case, so I think a second opinion is in order. I followed up after chemo by 3 weeks. They do need a week for simulations. There are probably plenty of people who have had a larger delay due to complications from chemo. Getting it right would seem to be more important than getting it early.
When you have it on the left side you have potential for damage to heart and lung. Also rib breakage. The cancer side effect I think would be leukemia. My impression is that would occur 20 years down the road if it does.
Other than sunburn. I had no side effects, no fatigue.
I only had lumpectomy, so I think they would have taken me out to the back alley if I decided against rads.
Hang in there, you're 1/2 way thru.Bev
