I have done both. I've had 7 children and had radiation. Given what I know about radiation and how a person feels for months, and months afterwards, it is not the way I would want my first pregnancy to be. Waiting will be better for you and for your child. Your nutrition will be compromised for months from the radiation treatment and that is not good for a pregnancy.
Take care,
Minnie
