Hello Shanie and thanks for your post

I see that you've been given some good advice by Caz1981. You generally start radiotherapy about 4 to 8 weeks after surgery. Sometimes it may be delayed if you need to wait for your wound to heal or if you develop a seroma (a collection of fluid that sometimes forms under a wound after an operation).

Your specialist or breast care nurse will explain when you will start radiotherapy.

I hope this helps. Give us a ring if you want to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
