When does chemo start?

Hi everyone! Regular pain in the backside here but I had my results the other day and my breast cancer was found in my lymph nodes so the plan has now changed to chemo before radiotherapy. I had my appointment through this morning for the oncologist and it’s not until the 7th November. Just wondering roughly when your treatment started after seeing the oncologist? 

The breast nurse said they’ll need to do scans etc before I can start treatment (heart kidneys etc) so I’m kind of sitting here thinking wow so it could be a while before I actually get chemo?

thanks so much in advance for any replies. I drive myself nutty sometimes haha x

  • Hiya sorry for the late reply. I've had a stay in hospital with Neutropenic sepsis. Ugh. Wasn't feeling great and coughing, temp spiked a bit so hospital wanted me in. Said if I'd left it any longer I probably wouldn't have made the trip. On the mend now and I'll be getting bone marrow boosters for 10 days after every chemo now. 
    my next one is a week today so hoping the next one goes a little better lol x
