Radiotherapy ... can someone please remind me ...

What is the low point after radiotherapy when the patient hopefully starts to pick up again? I think it's 2 weeks, is that right?

(My dad had another 5-day course last week and we're trying to organise a family get-together.)

anyone?

I would like to know this too. My Grandad has just finished a 5 week course of radiotherapy and is feeling really crap. His last one was last thursday.

Yes, I think its about two weeks - but can be as much as three depending on how tired/in pain a person is. My friend's dh picked up just over 2 weeks after both courses of his - having felt much worse during those two weeks than before it.

Heartmum and Roisin, best wishes to your Grandad and Dad, and hope the family get-together goes well!

Thanks Elibean
