Long wait for Radiotherapy

Hello

Have Grade 3 breast cancer, 2/3 nodes clumping micrometastasis.  Operated 29th July, Oncotype score 12 so no chemo only radiotherapy, and hormone therapy. NICE guidelines 4-6 weeks from surgery to radiotherapy, just have had my date through, it will be 12 week 4 days (88 days) post surgery! is this normal? feeling like it's shutting the gate once the horse has bolted!  Went for planning for therapy today and was cancelled so now concerned if not seen 2 weeks before planned date may be delayed further... anybody had similar experiences? or able to reassure me...

  • Hi AndieG,

    just to say my wait for radiotherapy (pre-Covid!) was nearly 14 weeks!! I was awaiting MRI results plus ONCO result from USA.  It all got very frustrating. So far I am fine (2 years on) but it IS a concern that lingers....I waited far too long as are you. 


    wishing you well.
