Just had my discharge from general surgery after the wide local excision and been told that will need chemo and radiotherapy for HER positive cancer.they said I will receive an oncology appointment in about 4 weeks. South Wales  Newport.

How long is usually after surgery when the chemo actually starts, just wonder if I should go back to work or not.
