How soon can chemo start after an op?

my husband didn’t have a VATS lobectomy last Monday because they are cancer deposits in the pleural fluid, they took 5 biopsies. I’m keen for him to start chemo asap -and so is he- how soon can it start? We have a meeting on Thursday. We thought he had a tumour only in his lung and in the lymph node next to it 

  • Hello Ebba,

    They probably need to find out whether the cancer has spread anywhere else before starting treatment. Ahead of the meeting, it might be a good idea to write down all the questions you have for the doctor so they can address your concerns. If you need to speak to someone at any point our nurses are available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm on freephone, the number is 0808 800 4040.

    All the best for Thursday,

    Moderator Anastasia
