delayed treatment. anyone?

Hi everyone!

I would love some help.
I am 33 years old and was diagnosed with invasive carcinoma on my left breast, stage 2 (3 tumours) ER + PR +, Her2 - .
I had the sentinel node negative, and had a mastectomy with reconstruction surgery in one breast (by the end of november) with lymphovascular invasion.

After that I had a an unfortunate late appointment with an oncologist that sent me to do the Oncotype Dx to check my need of doing chemo or just hormonotherapy. As it was not available in my country it delayed the start of my treatment, still waiting for the results. Possibly will start either chemo or hormonotherapy at the 10 or 11 week after surgery. Does anyone knows if this delay would cause me any harm? Was anyone in this situation? My onc prefers to wait for the results, though they are late but I am afraid any cancer cells can spread or the treatment won't be as effective.

Thank you for your help.

I think it's ok. I didn't start tamoxifen until well after radiation, so roughly 5 months after surgery.

I had my first surgery in September and then two revisions in November. I couldn’t start chemo until January as I had to be completely healed. I asked my MO if I should be worry about the delay and she said no.

I am doing chemo because my MammaPrint came back high risk, Luminal B. Four rounds of TC.
