Hi, I just finished 3 out of 8 CMF chemo. I was told by RO before I started chemo ghat I would have 25 tx 5days a week gor 5 weeks. They never mentioned boosts. How long after chemo do we begin? Thanks Patty

    I think I'm to wait a few weeks, maybe 4, before I start my rads.  I'm on my 2nd kind of chemo (Xeloda, Navelbine) that I started after my lumpectomy...

    My radiation began exactly two weeks after my final chemo; the same amount of time as between chemo treatments. I had more radiation zaps than you, but probably had something to do with my tumor placement and small margins.
