I am kind of guessing my rads will fall during the holidays....I assume they take the day off for x-mas and NYD. Does this have an impact?
I guess we won't be visiting anyone this year!

I had my rads tx last year in December and they were closed on Christmas and New Year's Day. I don't think a day here or there makes a negative impact. I also missed a few other days during tx because of break downs with the equipment - they just tack those days onto to the end so you still get the same number of tx - it just pushes the finish line to a new date. Diagnosis: 5/30/2008, IDC, <1cm, Stage IIa, Grade 2, 1/13 nodes, ER+/PR+, HER2- |

Doesn't hurt a thing, I missed two weeks to due severe burns under my arm (peeling off 10 layers at at a time) and I missed two more weeks, cause they screwed up my arm due to the position for the first 4 days for 40-45 min a day. So a day here and there is no biggie. |

I'll be starting rads in the next week or so. My onc said that it was important to have at least four treatments a week. So for Thanksgiving week, they're opening on Sunday - we'll have rads Sun - Wed and then have Thurs - Sun off!! Christmas and New Years fall on Fridays, so rads will be Mon - Thurs. |
