Hi Chelee,

If it makes you feel any better, I waited over two months after chemo before I started rads. My last chemo was Sept 23 and I started rads after Thanksgiving. I had a surgery to look at my lumpectomy margins, then I had a business trip, then I had...well, denial that I needed rads, then couldn't decide where I wanted to have the rads done...

I really don't know what the standard time frame is for rads, but none of the docs seemed to get too upset with my stalling techniques, until the very end.

Good luck with it all,
Jen
