  • Hi there ..

    Fingers crossed it goes well ... Chrissie x

  • Hi Sharon

    timescales seem to vary from what I know but it’s generally 6-8 weeks after chemo has finished although in some cases 4 weeks or longer. I myself had last infusion on 31st October, they classed ending chemo as 2 weeks from that date and then I had my gastrectomy on 2nd January. My surgeon told me I’ll start chemo again 6-8 weeks after surgery to allow for recovery. 

    I hope your husband is coping with chemo, I had FLOT also and it’s a gruelling time, but I found recovery quite quick and was able to gain all weight I’d lost and more before surgery. If you’ve any questions about surgery etc please ask. 

    Wishing you both well.
