Does anyone know if there is a time window after radiation to take AI

I was told, the sooner the better, for hormonal treatment but there was a specific window for the chemo decision. @pegrw curious why you are waiting for blood work results, and what kind of blood work? I didn't have any blood work after my mastectomies but maybe there is blood work after radiation-?

My MO is leaving the blood work orders to my PCP, my spot with my PCP is July 8. I want baseline cholesterol, liver function, and vitamin C prior to starting the anastrozole along with the complete panel results. My RO suggested I wait to start under I had healed from the radiation so I would identify which SE were from radiation and which were from the anastrozole. I asked the MO about her ordering the blood panel, but she deferred it to the PCP, a decision that disappoints me.
