Patty,

Sorry to hear about your mom.

Some people start to have side effects from the radiotherapy and chemo earlier in the treatment than others. There are no set times, no matter what age the patient. Mine started during the second week of treatment and lasted approximately 3 weeks after - about 7 weeks all up. I also had surgery before my treatments.

The distance they would have to travel daily sounds like a very long time. I think that would be exhausting.
