We just got the call that my mom’s surgery is scheduled for Friday March 22. They said the radiation timing is based around that so working backwards, she will start her short course radiation on Thursday March 14. Then she will do it again on Friday, take a weekend break, and then do it Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Then she has Thursday off and surgery Friday. I asked if the “break” in the middle of radiation was okay since I’ve read it should be 5 days straight. They said it’s always based on surgery date and so only the people having surgery on a Monday ever get 5 days straight the week before and all other patients have the weekend break.
Just want to see if anyone has any experience with this timing?
