Radiation Oncology

The appointment yesterday ended up being an informational meeting. So the schedule is.... presurgical April 4. Radiation Oncology initial set-up April 11. Port flush (just in case) and appointment with new surgeon April 16. Surgery to remove port April 17. Radiation onc tentatively scheduled to begin April 28 (time TBA) for 33 days so 6.5 weeks. Looks like the radiation will go for the month of May half way thru June. Summer will be nice this year. I meet with the Medical Oncologist in 3 months then have alternating mammograms and breast MRI's every 6 months for the rest of my life. Hormone therapy starts when radiation oncology is complete. Tamoxifin (sp?) for five years. That's the scoop. Off to work. Beth
