Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | I missed 2 days because I was too sick from the chemo and several more days because of downtime of the machine. There is no way to make up the time. You can't get more then 2 Gy/day. They will just add more days. They were more pushy about the days that were my fault then the days that the machine was broken. Go figure. Others here have had small breaks with no adverse effects (and some because of adverse effects).
