There were a few times in the mid-to-late stages of my radiation treatment when I felt so terrible that I begged my radiation oncologist to give me a day or two off (with the understanding that it would be made up). Once or twice he let me do it -- I'm not sure of the rationale, but I guess he felt it was manageable and would not jeopardize my long-term prospects. The other times he said I had to go ahead with no break.
