Breast cancer, how long after mastectomy did ppl start chemo

I'm new to breast cancer though I had Non Hodgkin Lymphoma 6 years ago . I've had a mastectomy and auxiliary lymph nodes removed and am still in a lot of pain but I'm seeing the oncologist this week as have been told I need chemo then radiotherapy. How long after mastectomy did anyone start chemo? I was so ill with the chemo last time that I feel I need to build up more strength before it starts but am not sure whether a delay will cause problems .

  • Hi,

    I just got diagnosed 3 weeks  ago with breast cancer, I had a cyst since 2018, 

    then when you went April 2021 for memo gram they found 3 lumps. Sound so scary. I cried a lot. I felt something bad straight way. 
    I am having 4 children, and single mum. I was thinking about my kids.

    I did all scans, ct scans, mri, bone scan yesterday. 
    waiting for results, next week.

    anyone same story please.
