Hi, mine started 2 weeks after. You will probably have a planning scan too. This will go to your oncologist so they can plan where to direct the radiotherapy. Its nothing to worry about and the staff were lovely and very reassuring too. 

Thank you so much for your reply. Hopefully, might get it over with before Christmas. Would be nice to start tge New Year with it all behind me. I hope you are doing well since your treatment. Xx

Mine also started 2 weeks after my ct scan.

in fact I had my first treatment this morning.

 I Wish you well with your coming treatment xxx

Hi D1962H, thank you for your response.  I had another call today to go over the upcoming appointment. They said I will be having a scan and tattoos done. They also did say my treatment would start a couple of weeks later and I will receive my schedule next week. Hope your treatment went well today. Xx

I  had my surgery three and a half weeks ago and have a first radiotherapy appointment on 18th December. I would be interested to hear how you all get on and wish you well. It's a daunting prospect facing radiotherapy and it's good to have others to discuss this with. 

Hi Mouse62, I am off to my first appointment shortly. From the information given, this will be a ct scan and tattoos, ready for radiotherapy to start in 2 weeks time. I went through chemo without too many issues, so not too worried about the radiotherapy. Also had a mastectomy with diep flap reconstruction 5 weeks ago. I'm more concerned about travelling to the hospital everyday,  as it's a different hospital and further away. Will let you know how it goes. Hope you are recovering well after your surgery. Xx

Thanks, I am getting better each day. Hope your journeys are not too bad. I hope to be lucky and go to a unit which is quite close by.
